Bog Sage (Salvia uliginosa) is a graceful and airy perennial that offers a color rarely found in the Salvia world: a true, clear sky-blue. Native to the marshy areas of South America, this species features tall, slender stems that sway elegantly in the breeze. The flowers are a breathtaking azure with a small white bee-path on the lower lip, appearing in succession from mid-summer well into autumn.

As a moisture-loving member of the Salvia genus, uliginosa is the perfect choice for rain gardens, pond edges, or any spot in the garden that stays a bit damp. However, it is surprisingly adaptable and will grow beautifully in regular garden soil with consistent watering. It is one of the top plants for attracting butterflies and bees, who find the clear blue flowers irresistible. Why you’ll love it: Rare true sky-blue color, elegant tall habit that adds movement, and a long-blooming season that peaks when other plants fade.

Product Details: This Bog Sage is delivered as a robust 4-inch live plant in a nursery pot. It can reach 3-5 feet in height and prefers full sun to light shade.
