'Blue Frost' is a striking cultivar of mealy cup sage, featuring icy blue-white flowers with a subtle violet blush. The common name "mealy cup" refers to the powdery, whitish calyces that cup each flower. This selection forms a tidy, upright clump of narrow, gray-green leaves and blooms continuously from late spring to frost. It is exceptionally heat and drought tolerant, making it a reliable performer in challenging conditions.
