Salvia chamaedryoides (Germander Sage) is a mostly evergreen subshrub that thrives in well-draining soil and adapts well to both full sun and very light shade. Preferring low water use, it flourishes in a wide range of light conditions, with dark blue flowers appearing nearly year-round, except in the coolest seasons. Germander Sage serves as a striking small-scale ground cover and is particularly effective in attracting hummingbirds.
