Description
Dense sky-blue flowers on lasting purple calyces give Salvia yangii Denim n Lace a long, richly colored display from midsummer into fall. Strong upright stems rise through finely dissected silvery-green foliage, keeping the compact clump tidy without routine staking.
Choose it for a full-sun flowering border, prairie-style planting, or xeriscape with dry to average, sharply drained soil. Aromatic foliage and flowers, deer resistance, and drought tolerance once established add practical value. Remove the previous season’s stems in early spring as new growth begins.
