Bee's Bliss Sage
Salvia ‘Bee’s Bliss'
Salvia 'Bee's Bliss' is a vigorous, semi-evergreen perennial prized for its dense, spreading ground cover habit, aromatic velvety foliage, and profuse lavender-blue spring flowers. A hybrid of two California native sages (Salvia leucophylla and Salvia clevelandii), this tough, drought-tolerant plant forms a lush, spreading mat of slender, wrinkled, silvery-gray-green leaves that release a pleasant, fragrant scent when brushed. From mid-spring through early summer, it produces upright stems topped with whorls of small, tubular, lavender-blue flowers that rise above the foliage, creating a soft, colorful display that attracts hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With its fast-spreading habit and excellent tolerance for heat, drought, and poor soils, it is an outstanding choice for large-scale ground cover, slopes, erosion control, coastal gardens, and water-wise landscapes.
