Is Salvia × sylvestris 'Blauhügel' toxic to cats?

No — salvia × sylvestris 'blauhügel' is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats.

Salvia (sage, Lamiaceae) is treated as non-toxic by the ASPCA, which lists garden sage (Salvia officinalis), scarlet sage (Salvia coccinea) and Texas sage as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses. Eating large amounts may still cause mild, self-limiting gastrointestinal upset, as with any plant.
