A large clump of low, long-leafed hummingbird sage plants are in the center. Below them a few tiny hummingbird sage plants nestle in a gap in wood logs bordering a path.
If you like plants that have babies, Hummingbird Sage is ideal. Salvia Spathacea has huge magenta/red flower spikes, grows in partial shade, and smells like pineapples. 🌱 #nativeplants #californianativeplants #salvias

Salvia africana from the #summerdry area of S. Africa's Cape grows about 4-5ft and is a welcome early summer bloomer. The calyxes are colorful even after the bloom is done. The tea has numerous medicinal uses #gardening 🌱 #salvias
Some purple spires of salvia stand among the green foliage. In the background are pink roses. One is Olivia Rose Austin and the other is Phyllis Bide
To be grateful for the small things - this is a gift to ourselves - as it brings us immediate happiness and relief from our worries, if only for a while. Gratitude is the key to life. My cottage garden today. Salvia and roses.
