Indigo Sage

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 80 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous slender, straight stems covered in thin, smooth, brown-green bark, and the wood inside is brown.

The branches are short, thin and wispy with dozens of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of small, perforated, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are either blue or indigo, with lilac edges, sturdy and crispy.

It produces lots of giant, beige flowers with slender, pointed petals. They are very delicate and have a weak scent that smells like faeces. In late summer it forms medium-sizedlime, winged seeds that float and land far away.
