Our featured flower of the month is Salvia. The Salvia genus, part of the mint family, has ancient roots spanning the Mediterranean, Central Asia, and Central America. Historically, species like Salvia officinalis (common sage) were revered by Greeks and Romans for their medicinal properties, while Salvia divinorum holds deep ritualistic significance for the Mazatec people of Mexico. Today, cultivation is straightforward; most varieties thrive in well-draining soil and full sun, making them a staple for gardeners. They are remarkably resilient and drought-tolerant, valued both for their aromatic foliage and their ability to attract pollinators with their vibrant, tubular flowers. Cheers
