When does blue sage bloom?

The flowering period of blue sage is from April to October. This is the first time the editor has heard of this plant. Therefore, the editor quickly went to ask Du Niang and got the following information about the orchid sage. The editor below invites everyone to learn about this familiar and unfamiliar plant.

First of all, the editor will tell you about its origin. The origin of this kind of grass is Texas, Mexico and northern Europe, from Spain to the north coast of the Mediterranean. In our country, it is widely used. Distributed in Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi and other regions. Therefore, those long blue flowers we saw on the way home from school are the plant whose scientific name is Salvia indica. This is why the editor said it is both familiar and strange at the same time!

Let me tell you in detail what it looks like. The editor is worried that some friends may not recognize this plant while walking on the road.

Blue sage is a labiata sage plant, a perennial herb that grows in clusters. The plant is 30 to 60 centimeters tall, about the height of our calves. It has many branches and is hairy. The leaves on the lower part of the stem are generally bipinnately compound, while the leaves on the upper part of the stem are pinnately compound with short stalks.

Let me tell you about the uses of this plant. Blue sage can be used as a potted plant and planted to decorate your own home. It can also be planted in green belts, courtyards, parks and other places to beautify the environment. Its flowers can also be used to make portable The sachet you carry can be used to attract the opposite sex around you, and can also be used as a raw material for refining sesame oil.

Its growing environment is also quite special! Blue sage prefers light. Sufficient light and a humid environment are its favorites, just like your favorite warm quilt in winter. It can grow well in well-drained sandy loam or deep loam. Of course, it can also grow in normal soil, but it may not bloom as vigorously as the former. It has strong cold and drought tolerance and can withstand low temperatures of -15 degrees Celsius, but it is also afraid of heat and dryness, and it is also a baby.

Okay, that’s all the editor knows about this plant.
