Plant Highlights

This annual sage grows to about two feet in a long spike with blue flowers that bloom in the spring. It grows in a variety of soils including sandy soils and often grows well on disturbed soils. It would make a great addition to a wildflower garden especially because it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
