Salvia 'Purple Stem'
(Purple Stem Sage) Aside from knowing that it was collected in the Northern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, little can be said with certainty about the taxonomy of this Salvia. What we can say definitively about this not-rare-but not-at-all-common plant is this: it is easy to grow, flowers abundantly, has stunning dark purple stems and does well in heat and with limited water.

Salvia africana-lutea
(Beach or Golden Sage) Young plants are thickly covered with elliptical, woolly gray-green leaves. 2”-4” stems carry whorls of very interesting one to two inch-long bright yellow flowers that age to rusty orange and look somewhat withered when mature, making them both an attraction and an oddity. Blooms mainly in the Winter and early Spring and sporadically through Fall.
Shear back by 1/3 in late Spring to encourage new basal growth. Plants need deep watering at least once a month(when established) and enjoy a loose, preferably sandy, soil.
This is a very unusual plant that we find to be tough and resilient. Like many plants from the Cape region, apply fertilizer sparingly and have an acid to neutral, well drained soil.

Salvia albicaulis
(White Stem Sage) From rocky, exposed slopes in South Africa comes this easy-to-grow and rewarding Sage. Called White Stem Sage because of the felted white stems, the big green, slightly leathery foliage is dense and attractive in and of itself. But when it starts to display the large, rich blue flowers with two white "bee lines", you will no doubt fall for this lovely plant.

Salvia scabra
(Coastal Blue Sage) On the sandy shores of the East Cape in South Africa grows this easy-to-grow, spreading perennial Sage. The lobed, lyre-shaped leaves are a deep green - quite a contrast to most of the Salvias from this region. The flower spikes grow up to a foot above the foliage clumps, sporting small purplish pink flowers that are quite attractive.
So why is it known in it's native region as "Blue Sage"? Probably because the flowers have a blue sparkle to them in the bright sun.
