Salvia sagittata - Arrow Leaf Sage

(Arrowleaf Sage) This unusual herbaceous perennial is found at high elevations (9,500ft.-10,000ft.) in the Cordillera de los Andes of Chile and Peru. It’s arrow-head shaped leaves (sagittata refers to this shape) are deeply textured, yellow-green and woolly on the undersides.

The blooms are a gorgeous, brilliant royal blue and rise 1’-2’ from the leafy stems starting in Summer and continuing through the Fall.

Needing at least a half day of strong sunlight to bloom well, Arrowleaf Sage also likes well draining soil that’s high in organic matter, regular watering and a light feeding once or twice a month during it’s rapid growth period. It makes a great container plant and in the ground will spread more via suckers if given a few hours of shade.

For the best shape and most profuse bloom, cut down to the lowest few active growth nodes in March.

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.
