Salvia daghestanica

Dwarf Silver-Leaf Sage

Quick Facts :: Growing Tips

Full and Afternoon Sun Xeric Resists Deer Resists Rabbits Western Only  Legend

Description:

10-12” x 12” wide, (cutting propagated). When I saw my first plant in bloom, it literally took my breath away; its flowers are that beautiful! Salvia daghestanica is easy-to-grow, xeric (waterwise), eye-catching in and out of flower, and not browsed by rabbits and deer. In late spring, the low, tight rosettes of textured, nearly-white foliage create a superb backdrop for the showy spikes of large, clear-blue flowers. Dwarf Silver-Leaf Sage blooms for 3 to 4 weeks. It requires a hot, full-sun position in lean, well-drained soil. NOTE: the plant will look really “dead” in early spring, but leave it alone and you’ll soon see the new leaf buds beginning to swell at the tips of the stems as the weather warms.

If you can grow lavender, you’ll love this beauty. A tidy grower, this plant can be used in perennial borders as an edging plant, in xeriscapes massed around taller perennials or in rock gardens as a treasured specimen. Zones 5-8

Special Notes:

Plant with Penstemon pinifolius, Zauschneria arizonica, Agastache rupestris and Teucrium aroanium
