Salvia hyb. 'Dara's Choice'

photos: chuck b.

The seed for this EASY groundcover Sage was originally collected by Dara Emery at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden & it appears to be a natural hybrid between S. mellifera & S. sonomensis. In windy condition it may stay 16" tall & spread to 6' plus wide. In protected areas it may be 3' tall. In all cases it is a good choice as a bank cover or as a specimen draping down a wall or the sides of large pots. Prune in late Summer to keep compact. The leaves are a fresh green color on top, white underneath & pleasantly fragrant. The flowers are a lovely blue color & are quite showy from March thru May. Very attractive to Hummingbirds!
