Salvia microphylla

Baby Sage, also known as Salvia microphylla, is a low-growing, evergreen shrub with a mounding, well-branched habit. It has fine, soft foliage that is bright green in color. In spring and summer, dense spires of small, tubular, violet flowers emerge from the foliage. This Arabian native plays nicely in containers and rock gardens, but also looks great cascading over walls. It's drought tolerant and thrives in full sun but can tolerate some shade. Baby Sage is a great choice for beginner gardeners, with its minimal maintenance needs and rewarding show of color when in bloom.
