Salvia, Baby Sage, Blackcurrant Sage, Delta Sage, Graham's Sage, Little Leaf Sage 'La Trinidad'

I haven't grown this myself, but was amazed to see it apparently returning from its roots at the Chicago Botanic Garden's (Glencoe, IL, w...Read Morehich is north of Chicago, probably zone 5b!) plant evaluation bed. If any CBG employee is reading this and knows the plant was protected in some way, please comment below.

No other S. microphylla, and very few New World Salvias period, survived the winter (of 2017--2018).

The bloom.color is pink (as the picture shows), not blue, though there may be a trace of mauve or violet in that pink.

The species itself is edible (flowers used as garnishes, leaves brewed into tea/tisane in Mexico): "mirto de montes." This variety has nice smelling foliage (thus not a hybrid with S. greggii, which though beautiful, has mildly skunky foliage), so presumably is also.
