A sub-shrub from the south-western USA with very pale foliage and heads of violet flowers emerging from red tinted bracts on slender stems in summer.

Needs a hot sunny spot very well drained soil, ideally dry in summer, and with protection from winter wet.

Salvia chamaedryoides

An absolutely gorgeous little Salvia from Texas and thereabouts, sprouting spikes of intense indigo violet over low ash-white bushes.

It will, like so many species from this area, need the driest sunniest site you've got but is fairly cold tolerant and can eventually make quite a sizeable patch.
