Blue Pitcher’s Sage, Saliva azurea, is one of our wonderful native prairie plants that started flowering about the third week in August this year. It grows to about 3’ tall with 6” spikes of blue flowers in full sun and regular to dry soils. Millions of these are in the Flint Hills and we could see them for miles as we took a trip to The Dyck Arboretum just north of Wichita going down I35 and from Emporia to Newton, Kansas. It is worth the trip this week the middle of September. This photo of the Blue Pitcher’s Sage was taken on the Overland Park Arboretum prairie. |
