Salvia ‘Corrugata’

Common Name:
Corrugated Sage

Description:
Salvia 'Corrugata' is a striking evergreen perennial shrub admired for its richly textured, deep green foliage and vivid violet-blue flowers. The heavily veined and puckered leaves create year-round interest, while tall flowering spikes appear from late spring through summer and often continue into autumn in Melbourne’s mild climate. This hardy salvia thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate watering once established. It is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and beneficial pollinators, making it an excellent addition to cottage gardens, Mediterranean-style landscapes, mixed perennial borders, and wildlife-friendly gardens. Regular pruning after flowering encourages dense growth and repeat blooming.
