Salvia azurea (Pitcher Sage) is a clump-forming, shrubby perennial with beautiful wands of large, 2-lipped, sky blue flowers from midsummer to frost. The elegant flowering spikes are borne atop sturdy stems clad with long, narrow, grayish-green leaves. Hardy, this Salvia features an upright habit until midsummer, but will sprawl over nearby plants when it begins to bloom. Spectacular in the late season garden, this attractive sage is perfect for beds and borders where it will happily mingle with nearby plants.
