'Strata' is a distinctive mealy cup sage cultivar known for its unusual bicolor flowers: the upper lip is a soft blue, while the lower lip is white, creating a layered (strata) effect. The silvery calyces add to the shimmering appearance. It shares the species' excellent heat and drought tolerance, blooming continuously from late spring to frost on a well-branched, upright plant.
