Salvia viridis
Open-pollinated. Annual. Also known as Painted Sage. This prolific little beauty is splendid as a dried flower or a filler in fresh arrangements. Although its leaves are entirely green, its name comes from its white and blue flowers set off by large pink-to-purple bracts that ascend the 18" stalks. Easily air-dried, it will remain very colorful, flowering until frost if old blooms are removed. Start indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost. Needs well-drained soil. ~350 seeds/g. Especially attractive to pollinators. ③
