Salvia mellifera tera
seca is wonderfully fragrant. Salvia mellifera is often mentioned as
the best sage for making sage honey. Rating a plant for fire danger
is partly due to the volatility of the material and partly due to the
volume of air in the plant. A prostrate variety like Tera Seca is
going to be less of a fire hazard because the plants are lower to the
ground. A five year old plant is 18" tall in one of our gardens
and has spread to 8 feet in diameter. Salvia Tera Seca is hardy into
the teens. This is a great addition to the Butterfly
garden as well as the Hummingbird
Garden.
