Featured plant: Blue sage

Blue sage. (Salvia farinacea).  Perennial. Zones 7-11. Grows to 3' in bloom. It is found growing wild in Texas where it is a perennial. I've grown it in my zone 5 garden but I've had to start the seed in the house in January to have blooms the same year. The spikes are a pleasant blue. It prefers full sun, well drained soil, and can tolerate some drought. It can not tolerate water logged conditions.
