Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Grassy stems with wispy, pungent, narrow green leaves hold penetrating, gentian-blue flowers late summer to frost. Used to the rocky, poor soils of West Texas and Mexico around 4,000' elevation, it's cold-hardy and has deep roots that allow it to persevere in xeric conditions. 2' x 2'.

Originally from the high mountains in Mexico, this plant comes to us from Jim Lockman of Oakland, California. It has a soft character with delicate blue flowers and fine textured, light green, spidery leaves, which grow on basal stems. You can cut it back for a second bloom before it disappears in winter. Salvia reptans is perfect in drifts, as an accent in the rockery, or contrasted with Rudbeckia 'Swiss Gold'.
