Marine Blue Germander Sage
Salvia chamaedryoides ‘Marine Blue’
Salvia chamaedryoides ‘Marine Blue’ is a compact, evergreen perennial sage prized for its intensely blue flowers and soft, silvery-gray leaves. Native to high-altitude regions of Mexico, this variety thrives in warm, sunny climates and performs exceptionally well in California landscapes.
Blooming from spring through fall, ‘Marine Blue’ provides long-lasting color while requiring minimal water once established. Its low, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, slopes, rock gardens, and Mediterranean-style designs.
