Salvia sagittata

(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.
