Purple Sage (Salvia 'Celestial Blue'). This hybrid loves extreme heat and is great for the sunny areas of your garden. In addition to butterflies, swallowtails adore the nectar of its amazing blue blooms.
A native to California, 'Celestial Blue' salvia, also known as purple sage, has brilliant purple-blue blooms in summer. Though salvias generally hail from hot, dry climates, they also grow well in gardens that receive more rain. Simply place them where they will get a good dose of sun and do not give them any supplemental water.
Salvia, or sage, has a wide range and can grow in almost any garden. This variety is called diviner's sage (Salvia divinorum, USDA zones 3 to 9).

Purple Sage(Salvia spp) The salvia genus offers a wide range of plants that feature those enviable purple fall blooms. This coloration makes it a perfect foil for more fall-hued plants, like rudbeckia and Red Hot Poker. Because there are a wide range of salvias with varying heights and sun requirements, be sure to check with your local nursery to make the best choice for your garden. Great varieties to consider are Salvia leucantha, Salvia farinacea and Salvia guaranitica. USDA zones: 8 to 10; colder climates can use purple sage as an annual.Water requirement: AverageLight requirement: Full sun to dappled shadeMature size: 18 to 48 inches tallBloom time: Summer to fallPlanting tips: Plant in spring or fall and prune back after the first killing freeze.

Look for many species and varieties of sage, from ground cover to large shrub, and flowers in a wide range of colors.
