Salvia forsskaolii Life in the studio Being a long-stemmed varietyAlso known as Indigo Woodland Sage, Salvia forsskaolii is a stunning and very hardy salvia that will thrive in partial shade as well as full sun and also tolerates dry conditions, but does like good drainage. The foliage is striking and forms a mound of large ground covering dark green leaves that are low to the ground. The flower stems that rise above the leaves to a height of about 45cm have whorls of widely spaced violet blue double lipped flowers
