Genus from Latin salveo meaning "to heal", refers to the supposed claim of its medicinal properties. Blue Sage can be used for massing, borders, containers, accents and cut flowers. In addition, they attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Great for table cutting and used extensively in dried arrangements because the flowers dry to a deep blue.
