Commonly known as Fuzzy Bolivian Sage or Bolivian Spearhead Sage, S. oxyphora has equally unusual foliage that fools the eye. At a distance, the plant’s lance-shaped leaves appear to be a smooth, glassy green. However, they are covered with tiny clear-to-white hairs. They’re also large -- growing up to 5 inches long and 2 inches wide at maturity -- and taper to long, sharp points. It was first collected near Cochabamba, Bolivia, by German botanist Otto Kunst in 1892]]> http://www.fbts.com/xcms_entry.php?xcmsentryid=124&xcmsrss=1 Salvia Small Talk -> Everything Salvias Sun, 12 May 2013 10:09:00 -0400 Synopsis: Salvias are good additions to sensory gardens, because of their fragrance, texture and visual appeal.
