Blue Prairie Sage, Salvia azurea, 15 seeds, fluffy blooms, sweet fragrance, cold hardy, drought tolerant, zones 5 to 10, butterfly garden

Prairie Sage is one of the prettiest salvias, with silvery foliage and stems of tiny sky blue blossoms. Native to the prairies of the central U.S., it's perennial in almost any climate, can stand zone 5 winters, scorching summers, and still looks right at home in a dainty cottage garden. It blooms in late summer, brightening the tired garden with hundreds of half inch baby blue blossoms. It grows to 3'-4' tall in full sun, has an airy quality, or can be pinched back for a more tidy, compact plant. It needs minimal water and good drainage, especially where it faces severe winters. The blooms persist even after the first light frost, quite unusual for a salvia. Butterflies flock to the blooms, and the foliage has a musky sweet fragrance, worthy of potpourri (but repugnant to deer). This is the perfect salvia for a tidy country garden or a wild field. Gorgeous and easy. Prairie Sage grows easily from seed. Sow them just below the surface at 70 degrees and water. Zones 5 - 10. 15 seeds **All seeds ship for one price!
