Sensation Deep Blue Sage

Sensation deep blue sage is an eye-catching perennial flower when in bloom. In mid-summer, it produces upright spikes of small, deep blue flowers. Since the flowers open from the bottom of the stalk to the top, this salvia blooms for a long period of time.

Before it flowers the leaves grow as a dense clump of dark green foliage. It may bloom again if the spent flower stalks are removed. It is a heat and drought tolerant plant.
