Salvia chamadryoides x Marine Blue

(Marine Blue Sage) The name and origin of this fine cultivar has long been in dispute. It may be a clone or hybrid of Salvia chamaedryoides var.isochroma. We have grown this variety for many years now, and offer it for what it is - not for its name.

Whatever the real name, this is one of the prettiest and most durable Salvias we grow. It blooms almost non-stop, with small dark blue flowers w/ bee lines on foot long spikes. The foliage is small, wrinkled & wooly - silver-white above, greenish on the underside. It forms a tidy mat in a sunny spot, and pulls the eye every time.

Grow this where you can see it up close, in full sun. A perfect groundcover for hot and dryish areas, this is a Sage that will become much more popular as it becomes more widely known.
