Description

Celestial Blue Sage is a hybrid between Salvia clevelandii and Salvia pachyphylla or a three way hybrid with Pozo Blue' which would add Salvia leucophylla into the mix. Very stable and tolerant of almost gravel for soil and extreme heat, has also grown in part shade and daily water for about five years, and has been stunning in coastal clay with no water. Flowers are large for a sage, fragrant and almost pop out of a bouquet with the glow of blue purple. Each flower can be visited by a hummingbird, butterfly, moth, and then, fifteen minutes later another hummingbird, butterfly and moth. The swallowtails are embarrassingly in love with the flowers. Plant with Viguiera and Rabbit Brush to make a late summer show stopper. Or plant with boring Lavender to add some zest when the lavender poops out for the year. Eleven on the stun-o-meter.
