Giant Blue Sage - (Salvia azurea var. grandiflora)

Giant Blue Sage is a striking perennial with light blue blooms. Mature plants reach up to 5 feet tall and provide beautiful fall color. Giant Blue Sage thrives in dry to medium soils, preferring drier conditions. This plant attracts many long-tongued bees and butterflies, including American bumblebees, monarchs, and the silver-spotted skipper (Epargyreus clarus). Its fragrant leaves deter most mammals. Historically, the leaves were dried and used for smudging.

All of our native plants are grown in 3.5” x 3.5” x 5” deep pots, the perfect size for developing strong root systems. Each plant is carefully grown until its roots reach the bottom of the pot, ensuring they are healthy, well-established, and ready to thrive in your landscape.

Plants are available for local pickup only at our nursery. Once you place your order through our shop, you’ll be able to select a convenient date and time to pick up your plants. Each plant comes with a tag that includes both the common and scientific name for easy identification.

Please note: some native species naturally go dormant or appear rough at certain times of the year. These plants are still healthy and viable, and we only offer stock that meets our quality standards.
