Blue Spike Sage or Bog Sage (Salvia uliginosa) is becoming a very popular species, enjoyed for its long blooming display of sky-blue flowers, large bushy habit, and exceptionally resilient garden performance. A big growing sage that spreads by underground rhizomes, it grows in both wet and dry soil conditions. Blue Spike Sage grows in most any soil type and tolerates both sun and partial shade. Native to southern Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, it won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding performance in England and Europe.

"Plants were bigger than l expected. Packed very nicely in cardboard rather than lots of plastic."
"Absolutely beautiful sage. It is a true blue (not blue-ish purple as so many ""blue"" plants are). It is a favorite of the biggest and smallest bees in my garden. I planted one in the ground and the other in a large east-facing planter. The potted plant has gotten all-day sun in 100 degree weather and is thriving with daily light watering. It has bloomed for months. The in-ground plant took longer to establish, but is also flowering and thriving with minimal watering for its first year. Very impressed. I will order more next spring for sure."
"Easiest sage to grow! We live in central Texas, with heavy clay soil and this plant blooms prolifically until frost! Hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies all visit the true blue blooms on this beauty! My only complaint is that this season, it outgrew its home…almost 6 feet tall by 4 feet wide! Plan some space for this guy or cut more flowers during the season."
"It's only been a little over a month since I planted this and it sprung up quickly. It's not full yet, but it's flowering. I didn't expect it that quickly. I can't wait to see how it does, but the colors are very vibrant!"
"I put the Bog Sage in a raised bed that gets full sun, wind. We live at an altitude of 8000 ft. The plant has trived in its first year."
