Description
Salvia scabra (Lilac Sage)
Salvia scabra is a hardy, upright perennial shrublet native to South Africa, admired for its soft lilac flowers that appear in abundance from summer into autumn. The blooms are held above aromatic, textured foliage, creating a lovely display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Tough and water-wise, it thrives in poor, well-drained soils and hot, sunny positions, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance or indigenous-style gardens. Perfect for mixed borders, rockeries, and wildlife-friendly plantings.
