'Blue Lagoon' mealycup sage (Salvia farinacea 'Blue Lagoon') is a clumping plant for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit it. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is also drought tolerant.
