Chia

Overview

Salvia columbariae, commonly known as Chia, is a flowering annual herb prized for its dense clusters of vibrant blue to purple flowers. Maturing around 1-1.5 feet tall and wide, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, requiring minimal water once established. Chia's blooms attract pollinators, while its seeds, rich in omega-3, add a nutritious element. Ideal for xeriscapes and native gardens in USDA zones 9-11.
