Azure Blue Sage is a graceful perennial that exhibits clumping growth habits. Its key identification features include striking sky-blue, two-lipped tubular flowers that are a magnet for pollinators. The foliage is comprised of oblong leaves that grow opposite each other, providing a lush green backdrop for the vibrant blooms. The plant reaches a height of approximately 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) and spreads out to form clusters. Its stems are square in cross-section, a characteristic trait of the mint family.
