Black & blue sage overwintered for me sometimes but definitely borderline. Any moderate winter seems to kill it. I loved it\'s late season of bloom. I\'ve posted this picture before, but I love the combo of the Black & Blue blooming with fall color in the background. I wonder if snow cover might be a factor - we get little snow, so no blanket of protection from the cold. Just a thought.
I spent the day doing \'getting ready for winter\' chores. Gathered up the hoses, tried to carve out some space in the garage to be ready to bring the overwintering plants in, etc. I had been planning to turn our fountain off, but gave in to the pleas of the neighbors to keep it running a while longer.
