Salvia azurea 'grandiflora'--Azure Sage

Hardiness Zones: 5 to 9                                     
Height: 4 ft   Spread: 2 ft                                 
Type: herbaceous perennial                                  
Flowers: Blue                                               

Comments: Azure Sage produces blue flowers and grows in     
any garden soil with full sun or partial shade.  If grown   
in clay soils it may winter kill and so winter protection   
is suggested.  Because the plant starts growth slowly in    
spring it may be advisable to mark its location.  Staking   
is needed to keep it from falling over.                     

Propagation: Division is done in spring or October but      
plants are slow to recover.  Cuttings 3 to 4 inches long    
may be taken in early summer.  The seed germinates in 2 to  
3 weeks at 68 to 86 degrees.
