Salvia granitica
Salvia granitica is a low, stoloniferous perennial sage from the Western Cape of South Africa, growing on stony slopes. It is a rare wild species rather than a common garden plant, so its cultivation needs are only loosely documented and best approached like other drought-tolerant Cape salvias.
Salvia granitica is a species of sage commonly called the granite sage. It is endemic to South Africa′s, Western Cape province, where it grows on stony slopes in two far-removed locations – in the north, the Olifants River Mountains in the Koue Bokkeveld and, in the south, the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley between Hermanus and Caledon. It has no apparent affinity to any other Cape sage.
