Botanical name: Salvia muirii

Salvia muirii, also known as Muir’s sage or wild sage, is a small evergreen shrub native to the dry fynbos regions of the Western Cape, South Africa. It has grey-green, leathery leaves that release a menthol-like scent when crushed. It produces spikes of intense blue flowers with white lips from mid-summer to autumn, attracting bees and other pollinators. Salvia muirii is easy to grow, drought hardy, pest resistant, and long-lived. It can be propagated by seed, layering, or cuttings. It is ideal for small gardens, rockeries, or containers, adding a splash of colour and fragrance to any sunny spot.
