This low mounding perennial grows to 2' tall and wide. It spreads by underground runners and has a small, silvery foliage which serves as a background for bright blue flowers. The bruised leaves have spicy fragrance. Heaviest bloom is in spring and early fall, intermittent throughout the rest of the season. This Salvia needs full sun and a well drained site. Do not fertilize. Water weekly, once this plant is established.
