100 Blue Sage Seeds Mealycup Salvia Heirloom Pollinator Flower Garden

Blue Sage (Salvia farinacea) is a hardy herbaceous perennial known for its tall spikes of deep violet-blue flowers and grayish-green foliage. This heirloom variety, often called Mealycup Sage, forms upright clumps that bloom freely from early summer into fall, adding vertical color and texture to beds, borders, and container plantings.

Blue Sage is a favorite for pollinator gardens, where its nectar-rich blooms draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout the season. Its long stems make excellent cut flowers, fresh or dried, and the plant performs well in mixed wildflower meadows and cottage-style plantings. It tolerates heat and moderate drought once established, making it a dependable choice for sunny landscape areas.
