Looking for the perfect addition to your native shade garden? Look no further! Salvia spathacea aka hummingbird sage has large, soft leaves that are very aromatic. It lives in full to part shade (like under a big oak tree!) and spreads slowly by rhizomes to eventually cover a large area. This groundcover stays to around 1-2 feet tall but come spring you’ll be amazed to see spikes of beautiful magenta flowers. As the name suggests, hummingbirds absolutely love these blooms!
