Salvia chamelaeagnea Blue Haze

Common Name:
Blue Haze Salvia

Description:
Salvia chamelaeagnea 'Blue Haze' is a hardy and attractive evergreen shrub valued for its soft, airy display of pale blue to lilac flowers and aromatic foliage. Native to South Africa, this resilient salvia forms a rounded, bushy habit with small, grey-green leaves that release a pleasant scent when brushed. From late winter through spring and often extending into summer in Melbourne, it produces masses of delicate, tubular flowers held on upright stems, creating a hazy, cloud-like effect that softens garden spaces. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it is particularly well-suited to dry gardens, coastal conditions, and low-maintenance landscapes. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for cottage gardens, native-inspired plantings, and informal hedging.
