Salvia 'Marine Blue' Sage

Salvia chamaedryoides 'Marine Blue' Germander Sage

The Salvia 'Marine Blue' (Marine Blue Sage) plant is a fast growing evergreen (in mild climates) subshrub that has a dense mounding habit to 24 to 30 inches tall by 3 to 4 feet wide, mounding towards the middle with branches spreading out along the ground and slowly root suckering to become even wider.

Marine Blue Sage has attractive and pleasantly aromatic small deltoid shaped leaves that are about 3/4 inch long and gray-green with a quilted texture and gray from a dense mat of white hairs below. Half inch wide dark violet-blue two-lipped flowers appear year-round in our mild climate but are in greatest abundance from late spring through fall. These flowers on short delicate upright leafless stems 4 to 6 inches long are nicely displayed against gray-green leaves. These leaves can drop in cool weather making the plant semi-evergreen in cold years.

Growing Salvia 'Marine Blue' Sage
