Don't even know if it's a salvia or an agastache! I know that I planted it last year but I can't find the tag anywhere. I'm SOOOOOOO glad I didn't pull it up when I saw it growing earlier this year because it looked like a weed, but I figured that I'd let it bloom & then figure out what it is.

Any clue? Sorry for the bad pictures..

The first and third pics are some kind of Salvia. Don't know what variety. Beautiful blue color!

@FBTS could you chime in please and help identify?

Thanks!

This appears to be Salvia reptans. Late bloomers in many places, these Zone 5 perennials now come in 2 color forms. These are mainstay plants in the late border.

Kermit - You rock! Thank you! :) So glad I didn't pull it up when I saw it growing.. looked like a weed! Do they spread?

They clump rather than spreading.

Thanks Kermit!

The unusual variety, Summer Skies




The "wild" variety of West Texas Grass Sage

The two in a mix are really striking. Some of the hardy US native Salvias are so fine.

Good to know!
