This is a low growing, spreading culinary Sage. Elongated, grey-green, velvety haired leaves with a strong smell and taste. Intense violet-blue flowers on 30cm stems from spring into summer contrast well against the foliage. Grow in full sun in well drained soils. The large flowers are very attractive to bees. Avoid wetting the leaves or creating humid conditions during summer (these would be quite unnatural to the plant), particularly watch out for drip irrigation that feeds under the foliage canopy, this will create good conditions for fungi and other undesirable organisms that can attack the plant.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
