Salvia clinopodioides 'Michoacan Blue'

(Michoacan Blue Sage) An unusual and distinctive tuberous rooted Sage from Mexico, the identification and nomenclature of this plant has been confusing at best. If you grow it, you'll love it!

Strongly vertical with strong, square, winged stems that rocket up from the finger-like tubers in early Summer - topped with large clusters of rich blue flowers and large rosy bracts in the Fall. We have grown this through a Summer with no water at all, but with care it is a lovely accent plant.

In Zone 7 and above you can leave the tubers in the ground, or dig them as you would dahlias to extend the growing range of this most rare and unusual Sage.

Highly recommended.
