'Black & Blue'

That''s the name of this Salvia guaranitica, which is just beginning to bloom in a large blue ceramic pot at our front entrance.

It's drought-tolerant, which is useful as our world gets warmer; deer-resistant; and attracts bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.

The eye-catching cobalt blue flowers and contrasting near-black stem  and calyx that protects the flower in bud really stand out in our garden! Check out the two extra photos...
