Salvia macrophylla 'Short Form' - Creeping Big Leaf Sage

(Creeping Big Leaf Sage) Cobalt blue flowers float in airy clusters above the large, velvety leaves of this South American native sage. As a bold statement in a container, it has no equal. The hummingbirds will thank you for having this plant in your garden.

This variety grows close to the ground, spreading out with ground-level woody rhizomes. It is topped by foot tall spikes of blue-blue-blue flowers. The giant velvety leaves make it look a bit like a sweet potato plant.

Superb in a container, where it can cascade over the sides.

Salvia cuspidata ssp. gilliesii

(Chilean Mountain Sage) This spectacular shrub, which used to be known as S. gillesii, is delicate in appearance but strong growing and robust in the garden. A native of the Chilean Andes, it grows in the full sun on rocky slopes often shrouded in fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean. The rounded wooly soft grey toothed leaves are pleasantly scented, and drape on the plant in a way that reminds me of the limbs of conifers.
