Salvia chamaedryoides

The flowers of Germander Sage are so intensely dark blue, that even when there’s only a few present, they really show up. These hummingbird attracting blooms are set off against the plant’s small gray-green leaves. A rather small plant, it’s perfect for a rock garden or the front of a sunny raised bed. This Mexican native needs good drainage and shouldn’t be crowded or over watered. Its best bloom is in spring and fall but also flowers intermittently through summer.
