Salvia chamaedryoides Sun to Part Sun Mixing small gravel or PermatillFrom Mexico comes this small, drought tolerant, grey leaved salvia, forming a nice mass to 18" tall x 3' wide. The upright branches of Salvia chamaedryoides are topped with true sky blue flowers (really, really BLUE) from early summer through early fall. Blue oak sage prefers a very well drained site in the border or rock garden. Salvia chamaedryoides is truly one of our favorite plants we would not garden without. Maintenance: Salvia chamaedryoides
