giant blue sage

Also known as Blue Sage, Azure Sage, Pitcher Sage

Giant blue sage decorates central and eastern North American prairies with towering spires of sky-blue flowers in late summer and autumn. Its slender stems often sprawl gracefully under the weight of autumn blooms, providing vital late-season nectar for bumblebees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deep taproots allow this resilient perennial to thrive in dry, rocky soils where few other prairie plants survive.
