Salvia guaranitica 'Sapphire Blue'

(Sapphire Blue Anise-Scented Sage) The large, sapphire blue flowers of this Anise-Scented Sage glow in the full-sun or partial-shade garden from summer into fall. Similar to Salvia guaranitica 'Blue Ensign', this is a shorter variety of the water-loving species.

Hummingbirds, honeybees and butterflies all enjoy Sapphire Blue. Group it front of border with the taller Blue Ensign in the middle and Argentine Skies Anise-Scented Sage at the back for an intensely blue display.

Sapphire Blue also looks handsome paired with its cousin, Salvia rhinosina, another sage from the plains of Argentina.

Salvia guaranitica 'Black & Blue'

(Black & Blue Anise-Scented Sage) Hummingbirds go crazy for this outstanding variety of Salvia guaranitica. Of all our anise-scented sages, this is our favorite because the black calyxes contrast handsomely with the rich, royal blue flowers.

Salvia guaranitica 'Van Remsen'

(Van Remsen's Anise-Scented Sage) Big and beautiful, this Anise-Scented Sage grows up to 7 feet tall in rich soil and has lavender-to-purple flowers. In our garden, it blossoms from late spring to fall, attracting both honeybees and hummingbirds.

Salvia rhinosina

(Confused Argentine Sage) Similar in many ways to the indispensable garden favorite, Anise Scented Sage, this plant is a perfect companion for its better known cousin. Very large (up to 7 inches) leaves and a fountain-like growth habit give it a tropical look in temperate zones. The light blue & white flowers are displayed from very early Summer until the end of the growing season. There are a lot of reasons to be very excited about this Salvia!

Salvia urticifolia

(Nettle Leaf Sage) Native to the Southeastern United States, this lovely herbaceous perennial is found from Florida to Pennsylvania - but is listed as an endangered plant in three states. Such a lovely native plant! The common and botanical name refer to the leaves, which resemble the Stinging Nettle, Urtica diocea.

#617

Salvia x 'Costa Rica Blue'

(Costa Rica Blue Sage) A strong grower with substantial, tropical looking leaves, this variety is commonly listed as a variety of Anice Leaf Sage (S. gaurantica). By the way it grows and the season of flowering, we believe it to be a hybrid.

Our price: $7.50

Amount:

#305

Salvia guaranitica 'Argentine Skies'

(Argentine Skies Anise-Scented Sage) The licorice-like fragrance of its foliage and the big whorls of large, sky blue flowers make this a stand-out sage. Topping out at 5 feet tall, it is a tidy background plant, screen or border plant blooming from summer into fall.

Our price: $7.50

Amount:

#635

Salvia guaranitica 'Blue Ensign'

(Green Calyx Anise-Scented Sage) Partly due to its shorter height and moderate spread, this Anise-Scented Sage is the best of any we know for container planting. We love its stunning Cambridge blue flowers, bright green calyxes and the licorice-like scent of its foliage.

Our price: $7.00
