What Salvia azurea is
Salvia azurea is a flowering ornamental known for its upright habit. It reaches toward the sky with tall stems rather than spreading wide along the ground.
The plant mimics the open spaces of the North American prairie. You will notice its slender leaves and the way the stems respond to the warmth of a full day in the sun.
Keeping this sage is a lesson in patience and simplicity. It asks for medium water and dry air, settling into a rhythm that matches the season.
