Description
18-24" tall x 24-32" wide. Salvia dorrii v. clokeyi Purple Chip (Purple Chip Sage) is a low, spreading form of Sage, with deeply colored purple-blue flowers in late spring. This outstanding selection of the Great Basin native species is a small perennial shrublet that has attractive, evergreen, gray foliage that is untouched by browsing deer and rabbits. A great, long-lived xeric species for western gardens, this plant needs "lean," fast-draining soil with lots of sun and heat to look its best.
