Notes
'Blue Enigma' anise-scented sage (Salvia guaranitica 'Blue Enigma') is an annual for borders, pollinator gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees visit the flowers in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. It sits low on the menu for deer. The mounding plant grows at a rapid pace and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Bishop of Llandaff dahlia, Lemon Grass lemongrass, and Mondo grass.
