Description

This rounded shrub grows quickly to 3' tall and wide.Cobalt blue, fragrant flowers appear in spring. Fuzzy green leaves are fragrant and evergreen but will drop if stressed due to lack of water. Irrigate this Salvia every 2-3 weeks after it's established especially during the winter. This shrub looks great in a rock garden with good drainage. Plant near entryways so you can enjoy the blooms and fragrance.
