What a lovely plant, Meems! It probably doesn't grow in Nebraska. I have pitcher sage that I got from a local plant sale done by our community garden group. I don't think that's available at retail places, either. It has a pretty blue bloom.

Beautiful photos of this great shrub. I put a picture of it on my blog as well. I think we got cuttings at the same time. I haven't propagated it but sure plan to put some more around the garden. After seeing it bloom this year I'm loving it. Such a great blue color in those bracts.

I'm way behind in gardening and reading gardening blogs so I'm off to catch up on

What a beautiful sage! I don't think it would appreciate our winters, though. The stained glass appearance of the seed heads is beautiful!

We have something very closely related here and it does well in Tucson. I'm really happy about the lack of frosty nights here. Last year was too much. This year we need a break and it's nice to watch everything take a breather. Plus I want my Jacaranda to bloom purple this spring:)

Even just the foliage looks great, but the flowers...

Even just the foliage looks great, but the flowers seem so small and unruly compared to the big size of the plant.

We, of course, here in WV have had lots of freezes but it is still a very warm winter. We kinda need some colder weather to keep the plants on track.

This is one of my very favorite blues in my gardens. I have a shrub at the back of the property that gets no care from me at all and it is blooming and happy. I need to take cuttings and root them to have all over. I do have them in several spots and just love that true blue. I got this probably 25 years or so ago at a local flea market for $5. Your photos really show the wonderful blues in

We have had plenty of freezes but it hasn't been a horrible winter. I am amazed to see your beautiful blue blooms. What a wonderful sight.

I so not, but am jealous:)

What a beautiful shrub Meems. The blue flowers are so striking on it. I like the variegation's on the new growth by the blooms too. How lovely. I am glad you are able to enjoy the blooms this winter.
