Salvia azurea

Salvia azurea

One of my very favorite plants, a plains native that produces dense heads of large, beautiful, to-die-for true blue flowers in late summer and fall. Tough, carefree, and drought tolerant, the only problem with this plant is that the 2-3 foot stems tend to want to sprawl and trail rather than stand up straight. If you really need them to be tidy and compact, cut them back early in the summer to promote branching, or better yet, space them around with other plants so the lax stems can trail here and there, displaying their perfectly sky blue flowers wherever strikes their fancy.

Salvia moorcroftiana

Salvia moorcroftiana

A big, 2-3 foot plant largely similar to the (also excellent) Salvia sclarea. Big dramatic basal rosettes of leaves the first year from seed, the bolts up to a large candelabra of pale lavender flowers subtended by large, showy bracts. Inclined to be biennial, but will self-seed if you let it, or, conversely, you can deadhead before seed set and it will often perennialize. Zone 5, at least -Joseph
