Description

Bee's Bliss sage came out of the University of California Botanic Garden, discovered by Roger Raiche and named by Marcia Donehue. Gave sun and little water. A nice little ground cover.
Another hybrid Salvia. Bart at Rancho Santa Ana thinks it's the same as Salvia Gracias, can't confirm yet, nor have we stressed the plants enough to see when they die.. Gracias was mentioned in the literature a few years ago, then disappeared for the radar(except for us).
A sage that grows fast to a few feet across and then slowly to maybe 8 ft.. This Sage can be held to a few inches tall and 3-6 ft. wide.
Here's a native sage page where you can see all the Salvias of California.
