Salvia Triloba Subsp. Calpeana

Salvia triloba subsp. calpeana is a unique member of the mint family known for its striking blue-violet flowers and compact growth habit. Native to the southwestern United States, this plant thrives in rocky and arid environments, making it a resilient choice for drought-tolerant gardens. Its small, fragrant blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding both beauty and ecological value to the landscape. Often mistaken for other salvia species, it can be distinguished by its hairy leaves and specific geographic distribution. This hardy perennial is a valuable addition to xeriscaping and native plant gardens.
