Salvia forsskaolii - Balkan Sage

(Balkan Sage) How about forsskaolii as a name? But don't hold this against this great plant! It blooms sight or nine months a year for us, reliably returns every spring from a short dormancy, and looks almost like a Hosta from a distance.

This is an invaluable addition to a shaded woodland, and is even happy under conifers. Give it average to good soil, occasional water and enough shade to give it a lush look. You will be rewarded by fine, large, nicely marked violet-blue flowers that hummingbirds and honeybees love.
