Notes
Fuzzy bolivian sage (Salvia oxyphora) is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows 47 to 71 inches tall and 35 to 47 inches wide, so give it room. Fragrant blooms appear in summer and again in autumn, and they draw hummingbirds and bees.
Pairs well with Creme de Cognac dahlia, Mondo grass, and Pomegranate.
