DESCRIPTION
Salvia dolomitica is a hardy, medium sized evergreen, perennial shrub with aromatic leaves. In its native habitat it may reach up to 1.8 meters. Cooler regions of the world report growth of about 60cm by 60cm, so this may apply to your local conditions. The spring to summer blooms are lilac edged lobes to white throats, with a yellow dotted beeline to guide bee pollination. The calyces are a burgundy colour and turn a rusty pink after flowering. The fragrant leaves start as a fresh green, with a dense coverage of fine hairs and age to a grey green. The leaves are egg or ovate shaped, with a wedge at the base, have an entire margin and taper to a point. The stems also have fine hairs and appear as if emerging from the rootstock.
