Cleveland sage
A semi-evergreen rounded shrub that grows 3′ tall and 4′ wide.
Cleveland sage provides rich violet blue flowers from spring to summer. On warm days Cleveland’s sage will fill the air with the sweetest scent.
Leaves can be used as a substitute for culinary sage.
To keep a dense and more attractive plant, cut back in the winter by about a third or more when young – once mature with woody stems, only tip prune. Needs good draining soil if giving supplemental summer water.
