Salvia glechomifolia

(Ground Ivy Sage) Native to Central Mexico's highlands, this creeping perennial grows at a altitudes of more than 10,000 feet and can handle some chill. Its common name comes from its scalloped yellow-green leaves, which resemble Ground Ivy or Glechoma.

The wiry stems of this heat-tolerant Salvia sprawl and spread gracefully. Honeybees are attracted by the prominent double beelines on the violet-blue blossoms of its 1-foot-tall flower spikes, which bloom from summer into fall.

This is an ideal low-growing groundcover that is adaptable to full sun or partial shade. Grow it in full sun in cooler zones and in partial shade elsewhere. We also highly recommend this plant as a groundcover or in mixed containers where it carpets the base of larger plants, conserves soil moisture and spills gently over the pot's edge. Don't be afraid to water and fertilize it regularly.

Salvia elegans 'Tangerine'

Salvia nana

(Little Sage) We would never have given this plant a name like this! It is one of the most interesting Salvias we grow, with deeply rugose oval leaves that are shiny purple/green above and furry white beneath. The color is accentuated in the hot sun, and can be very dark. The almost dainty plant spreads out to cover the ground, and sends up 8 to 12 inch deep red stems of outward facing deep blue and white flowers.
