Salvia lemmonii 'Mesa Azure'
From dense spikes of dark-colored calyxes emerge purple tubular flowers that are produced throughout the year on a compact, lush, and low-growing plant with bright green quilted foliage. Mesa Azure Salvia's nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and long-tongued bees anytime this tidy plant is in bloom. If flowering slows down, light pruning and fertilizing will restart production.
Mesa Azure Salvia will perform best in a well-drained sunny location and is moderately drought resistant once well-established. This little perennial Salvia's compact habit and exceptional flower power should make it a great candidate for well-drained, low-maintenance container plantings in the garden and landscape.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
