Additional Information: Pitcher Sage is a graceful native perennial known for its spikes of sky-blue flowers that bloom in late summer, providing vital nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its slender, arching stems and narrow, gray-green leaves add a soft texture to prairies, wildflower meadows, and native plant gardens. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in sunny, dry conditions, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and low-maintenance landscapes. With its striking blooms and adaptability, Salvia azurea is a standout in native plantings, offering both beauty and ecological value.
