The incredibly brilliant azure blue flowers and soft, suede-like, grey-green leaves of Salvia chamaedryoides bring color and texture to any garden.
Germander Sage is a small, mounding, drought-tolerant shrub that slowly spreads to 4 ft. wide by underground runners. The spicy fragrant, small, silvery felted leaves are greener on new growth or with lower light.
Electric blue flowers bloom on short spikes in spring through fall with a peak bloom in late spring and again in fall. Hummingbirds and butterflies love it! True-blue flowers brighten the garden and contrast nicely with the silvery sage-green foliage.
Germander sage will sparkle in the waterwise garden as a small ground cover in perennial borders or used in raised beds where one may brush against the aromatic foliage releasing a spicy fragrance into the air. Perfect for hummingbird or butterfly gardens and looks great in cottage style, coastal or desert gardens.
Extremely drought tolerant and easy to grow, Salvia chamaedryoides is an excellent choice for xeriscaping. Order this incredibly versatile low-growing perennial shrub today for its color and garden performance.
How big does Germander Sage grow?
It typically grows 1 to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, forming a low, spreading mound of silvery-gray foliage topped with brilliant blue flowers.
When does it bloom and what do the flowers look like?
It blooms from late spring through fall with vivid cobalt-blue flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The color contrast with its silver leaves is striking.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
Full sun is essential. It thrives in well-drained, sandy, or rocky soil and dislikes rich or heavy clay. Wet feet will end the relationship quickly.
Does it need pruning or special care?
Minimal care needed. Deadhead or lightly trim after flowering to maintain shape and encourage more blooms. Cut back in late winter if it gets woody.
