With striking, inky purple flowers so dark they look nearly black, Andean sage adds a unique depth of hue to your garden palette. This rare sage is native to Peru and grows well in the ground or containers. Known to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, Andean sage is a beautiful choice for your pollinator garden. Its berry-like fragrance evokes blackcurrant. With a blooming season through summer into autumn, Andean sage grows well on the French and Italian Rivieras and frequently adorns bouquets of florists in these regions.
