About Salvia chamaedryoides Cav.
Salvia chamaedryoides, commonly called germander sage, is an evergreen perennial plant. It is native to the high desert of the Sierra Madre Oriental range in Mexico, where it grows at elevations between 2100 and 2800 meters. Its scientific name refers to its sharing the running rootstock that is typical of Teucrium chamaedrys, also known as wall germander. This plant spreads freely, and reaches a height of 60 cm (24 in) when it is in bloom. It has small grey evergreen foliage. Its flowers are blue, and they appear sporadically throughout the growing season, with peak bloom periods in early summer and autumn. It has been cultivated in European horticulture since the early 19th century, but was only introduced to the United States in the 1980s.
