DESCRIPTION
Salvia chamaedryoides is an evergreen perennial native to the high desert (2100–2800 m elevation) of the Sierra Madre Oriental range in Mexico. Salvia chamaedryoides is a great ground cover for those hot sunny positions, grown at the front of the bed or gracefully cascading over a sleeper or rock etc.. It looks great when grown in front of a dark or coloured hedge. It grows easily and well, making a good clump in no time.



This Salvia is excellent for a grey garden. It blends well with whites, soft pinks and other pale blue and mauve perennials. It contrasts beautifully with bright or dark coloured reds, crimsons, vivid purples.



Liking a sunny position, it’s not fussed with soil, growing equally well in a hard to grow hot spot as in a well prepared bed, but does not like wet feet or soggy soil, it’ll rot off quickly. A tough hardy plant for summer heat and winter cold, will tolerate a light frost.
Although a groundcover, it does appreciate being trimmed to keep it bushy and looking good.
