Salvia semiatrata
at Digging Dog
Sage
Thought in ancient times to perpetuate good health, an Arab proverb asks, “How shall a man die with sage in his garden?” Our Salvias are diverse perennials, shrubs or subshrubs. Many of them hail from the Mediterranean, Mexico and South America.
Drought tolerant, reliable once established, and generally pest and disease free, they combine an array of flowers and aromatic foliage in many different sizes, shapes, and hues. Salvia semiatrata 
Intricate bicolored flowers, a lovely blend of lilac-colored upper petals and midnight purple lower lips, are held by muted pink calyxes against a foil of handsome, dark green, textured foliage. Perfect for the rocky border or atop a wall where its detail can be enjoyed at eye level, this small-leafed hardy Mexican native combines well with Phygelius
and Geranium ‘Buxton’s Variety’ and its long lasting blooms make an excellent addition to any flower arrangement.
Blooms June–October. Size: 3' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 8. AVAILABLE LATE SUMMER 2013 Salvia semiatrata (P-0712)
