Salvia amarissima - Bitter Mexican Sage

(Bitter Mexican Sage) A most unusual, large lipped baby blue flower with white striations, this sage is one of the best choices for shady, moist corners. Used in its native Mexico as a medicinal herb for a variety of ailments. We love its grace and beauty in the garden!

The delicate flowers of this sage are very attractive up close, making this a perfect choice for container growing. The plant blooms over a reasonably long period from late Summer through the Fall.

Highly recommended.
