This is the best sage for attracting hummingbirds in the garden! Beautiful, black flower buds open to stunning cobalt blue flowers with black calyxes in early summer, and will bloom until frost. Anise-scented, bright green leaves are accented by lovely dark stems. Sages prefer well-drained, moderately rich soil.
