DESCRIPTION
A handsome, densely branched shrub with small, grey leaves, this Salvia puts on a show when in full bloom. The pale blue flowers bloom on foot-long spikes that cover the plant. Each flower has a large, trumpet-shaped, green-and-red bract at its base. Until recently, this was known as Salvia africana-caerulea, but experts have decided that "caerulea", which means blue, is an unnecessary attachment. This plant is widespread on the coastal hills and adjacent rocky hills of the South African Cape where it loves full sun. Used both as a culinary and medicinal herb by the native peoples of this area, it was adopted by Dutch colonials in the 18th century. A butterfly favourite, it is a Salvia that should be used more widely.
