The
salvia discolor is a primarily ornamental salvia, with fragrant
foliage and dark, nearly black flowers. Like all salvia, the
salvia discolor will require full to partial sun, and requires
almost no water once it has been established in a region.
Originally from Peru, the salvia will actually rot off and
die if too much water is given.
The stems
of the salvia discolor are very sticky, and this should be
understood when deciding on a location to plant. The sticky
substance on the stem will get stuck to clothing and is hard
to wash out, so planning away from an often-used pathway is
important. This will also help to keep the sometimes brittle
stems from breaking off.
