mostly solitary clump of pencil-sized

The incredibly thick and heavily-corrugated blue leaves are highlighted by a contrasting chartreuse central pattern

This Japanese oddity is exactly what people who like this kind of thing will like

While it will sometime reseed in the garden

you may not see the purple foliage until the following spring

Salvia Big Blue Delosperma mostly solitary clump of pencil-sized(aka: Salvia PAS1246577) Salvia 'Big Blue' is a Ball Pan Am Seed introduction of a cross of Salvia longispicata x Salvia farinacea. Although the cross is the same that produced the 1979 introduction, Salvia 'Indigo Spires', this is a dramatic improvement, almost certainly a ploidy (doubled chromosome) shift. For us, it produces a 4' tall x 3' wide, tight clump that includes the dramatic 1' tall floral spikes of dark bluish purple from early June (NC)
