Salvia x 'Trident'

Trident Sage

Information by: George Hull MSN Photographer: Mountain States Nursery

Description

This is a 3 way hybrid between Salvia mojavensis, Salvia clevelandii and Salvia dorrii. It keeps the interesting flowering spikes of the S. clevelandii but introduces compactness. Flowers are dark cobalt blue and while not large are showy. This salvia is one that has done well in the low desert where many have met their death. Attracts hummingbirds.
