Salvia glechomifolia is a herbaceous perennial native to central Mexico at elevations ranging from 7,500-10,500 ft. Glechomifolia means "with foliage like glechoma", which is a genus of creeping and stoloniferous plants in the mint family.
Salvia glechomifolia is a creeping perennial which makes an airy colony of yellow-green upright and sparse foliage. The leaves reflect light, grow on short stems from 1.5-2 ft, and appear to grow in widely spaced whorls. The plant flowers lightly all summer with long blue-violet flowers that have two prominent white lines leading to the nectar. The 1 in flowers grow in unevenly spaced whorls, typically with less than 12 flowers in each whorl, giving the overall effect of daintiness.[1]
