The first time we saw turquoise blooms on a salvia, we were smitten. Salvia bullulata ‘Pale Form’ is a rare and remarkable sage from northern Peru, producing copious white-tipped, turquoise sky-blue flowers on upright and arching wands from late spring into December in mild climates. The color is fresh, surprising, and completely garden-stopping.

Also known as Pale Form Salvia, this shrubby perennial grows about 2–3' tall and 3' wide, with a pleasingly bushy habit and handsome quilted deep green leaves. Hummingbirds love the tubular blooms, and the long flowering season makes it a treasure for pollinator gardens, part-sun borders, collector plantings, and large containers.

Plant Salvia bullulata ‘Pale Form’ in rich, well-drained soil with regular water and protection from hard frosts. Give it sun to part shade and enough room for its graceful arching stems. Deer resistant, unusual, and wonderfully floriferous, this sage is a true conversation plant. Explore more pollinator favorites in our Salvia - Sage collection.
