Salvia lavandulifolia
Spanish sage
S. lavandulifolia grows to 30cm tall and wide, with a reclining habit and whitish-grey evergreen leaves. When the leaves are rubbed, oils give off a fragrance similar to rosemary. The 1-in-long, pale lavender flowers grow on short inflorescences, blooming for about one month in late spring and early summer.

Planting young plants
From Late Autumn TO Late Winter
Pot grown plants can be planted out from late autumn to late winter. Plant in Beds or borders in any well drained garden soil preferably enriched with well rotted manure or compost. Choose a sunny position. Annual varieties can be planted after last frosts and the arrival of warm spring weather.
Propagation by division.
From Late Spring TO Late Spring
For perennial and shruby types, propagation is best done by division. Using a fork dig up plant, try to keep the root ball as complete as possible. Split the root ball at the center with a sharp knife or a spade. Replant the plants to the same depth as the original and keep well watered until established.
