Description

Salvia discolor (Andean Silver-Leaf Sage)

Salvia discolor, commonly known as Andean Silver-Leaf Sage, is an unusual and eye-catching perennial prized for its dramatic contrast of silvery-green foliage and velvety, near-black flowers. Blooming from summer into autumn, the tubular blossoms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its aromatic leaves release a fruity scent when brushed, adding extra sensory appeal. Native to Peru, this salvia thrives in sunny, well-drained sites and makes a striking addition to borders, containers, and Mediterranean-style plantings.
