Bog Salvia is a moisture-loving perennial that produces an abundance of very pretty, upright spikes of sky-blue flowers with white highlights from summer to frost! The plant forms an airy clump to 6 feet tall and wide and is great for the back of a border. Though humans cannot smell the odor of the leaves, we've found that deer can, and they hate it. We use this plant in our gardens to repel deer. It's such a versatile plant that you can grow it in sun or mostly shade and wet or dry soils!
