Salvia glechomifolia - Ground Ivy Sage

(Ground Ivy Sage) A native to the high mountains of Central Mexico, this plant's common name comes from the shape of the leaves, which resemble the common Ground Ivy or Glechoma. The small leaves on wiry stems sprawl about gracefully. Violet blue flowers with two prominent bee lines are nicely displayed on foot tall stems. This is a perfect small scale ground cover Salvia.

Grow in the sun in cooler areas or in partial shade elsewhere, and don't be afraid to water and feed regularly. We love this plant in a mixed container, where it carpets the base of larger plants and spills gently over the edge.

Highly recommended.
