Notes
'Blue Monday' sage (Salvia viridis 'Blue Monday') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance or xeriscape gardens. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and spreads about 12 inches. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms, and it tolerates drought. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Purple top, Cosmos, Coneflower, and So White gaura.
