Salvia dorrii is
native to the deserts of California and the West from Arizona to
Washington. Good drainage is a must. The red bracts contrast
so vibrantly with the blue flowers. It is worth making the
conditions work for the Purple Desert Sage. The gray leaves are a plus too.
Salvia dorrii grows to about 2 feet tall and wide. Salvia dorrii often grows in
areas that get brief snow cover.
