Blue Anise Sage

This massive sage begins to bloom in mid- to late Summer and continues until the first frost. Has conspicuous, large, deep azure-blue flowers with dark green, sometimes almost black, calyces. The nectar-producing blossoms are very attractive to hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Deer seem to avoid it. We’ve found that this is one of the best edible sage flowers with a sweet/bitter taste reminiscent of grapefruit rind!
