Lepechinia hastata: Very aromatic leaves and spires of red-purple flowers from July onwards. Reaches about 3ft / 90cm tall and will grow in sun or part shade. Said to be hardy in a sheltered position but we haven't fully verified this yet. We've also seen a very similar (identical?) plant named as Lepechinia salviae. Visitors always ask "what's that Salvia?" Take your pick, but under any name its a lovely and graceful addition to the garden. The plant is a native of California and Hawaii and is commonly known as Pitcher Sage or Pakaha. The specific name, hastata, refers to the leaf shape and means like a spear point, with flaring pointed lobes at the base. Propagation is by cuttings, careful division or, most simply, by seed sown in early spring.
