Plant Highlights

This rare sage is found on Santa Rosa island. The leaves are glossy and thinner than the avergae salvia, with white fuzzy hair on the underside. It displays deep blue flowers on a thin stem that attract bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. It will do well in pots or in the landscape, providing a slow-growing shrub. It is very cold-tolerant and thrives in almost any soil.
