Salvia farinacea sp. (Mealy Blue Sage) Size:1 gal sweetly fragrant white flowers openAlso know as Mealycup Sage or Mealy Sage. Despite its delicate look, this Texas native perennial can handle our extreme weather. If trimmed periodically, it comes back refreshed and thicker and reblooms. It is drought, heat, and sun tolerant, and about the only thing it cannot handle is wet feet. Mealy Blue Sage makes an excellent plant for perennial gardens and mass planting, with blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. AT A GLANCE
