Salvia reptans ‘West Texas Form’

S. reptans ‘West Texas Form’ is an unusual salvia in most aspects. During late summer and autumn its intense blue flowers, reputed to ‘glow’ in the sun, sit atop wispy, thread-like stems clad in narrow green leaves like needles. Even when not in flower, its unique foliage makes a lovely feature or foil for spring flowers. Though Salvia reptans is generally lax, the West Texas form boasts an upright habit and sturdy stems. Profoundly drought tolerant and frost hardy. Best grown in full sun and well-draining soil, reaching a height of up to 90cm by 50cm wide.
