I think the variety of this perennial sage is 'May Night', if I recall correctly. I brought it with me from my old house so it is at least 5 years old. Salvias like full sun and are drought tolerant. This one gets about 45 cm tall.
But every year after it flowers, this plant gets powdery mildew on me. I give it space and full sun, but it still succumbs. So I cut it back when it finishes blooming and no harm seems to be done. I love the blue flowers so much that I forgive it.
You'll notice the iceland poppies are still going strong!
