This plant is smaller than May night sage and has lighter blue flowers. It is an easy-to-grow choice for Colorado Springs landscapes.
Blue hill salvia has been an attractive plant at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. The light blue flowers and small size make it a good choice for most landscapes. It is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions.
