The easy-to-grow Salvia clinopodioides has looked quite nice in our trials since 2009, forming a 3' tall x 3' wide tuberous clump of upright stalks clothed in felty green leaves. Starting in mid-September and continuing until frost (NC), Salvia clinopodioides is topped with thick stalks of dark cobalt blue flowers...truly unique. Salvia clinopodioides first entered the US from Mexico under the assumed identity of Salvia sp.1...imagine that!
