Notes
Strata salvia (Salvia 'Strata (farinacea)') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers. Deer tend to pass it by. It tolerates drought and salt, so it needs little care.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Stargazer lily, Mexican sunflower, and Japanese maple.
