West Texas Cobalt Sage sold as Trans Pecos Sage, Chisos Sage

Salvia reptans

Description:

This salvia has rigid stems with narrow, pungent leaves and resembles a bright green, upright grass for much of the growing season. In early fall, cobalt blue flowers burst open almost overnight and are a big draw for hummingbirds. Thanks to its deep roots, this wildflower is extremely xeric. West Texas cobalt sage grows to 4 feet tall.

Habitat:

Habitat yard on Lake Belton
