This aromatic plant is not only breathtaking...it also has probably saved lives more than once!
Growing next to a large granite boulder the salvia blooms and exudes a fresh rich fragrance...you can only imagine what goes on beneath the spread of its branches.
We have noticed squirrels, rabbits and other creatures scurrying to and fro...then disappearing completely from view. Upon investigation, we discovered a rather large hole, under the plant, the entrance leading directly to a haven underneath the boulder.
What a shangri la for desert creature during the heat of summer... a five star hotel for wildlife, cooled and shaded by the salvia, earth damp from drip irrigation, hidden entrance...what more could you ask? We are so glad we planted the salvia in that particular spot!
