Nursery contributed plant descriptions

For the summer garden or potted container, this S. guaranitica hybrid brings forth rising sprays of dark purple blooms. Robust in stature, its dark green aromatic leaves quickly fill in that empty space from spring to fall. We use young propagations for summer bedding where height and late summer bloom are needed.

A mainstay at the back of the border, this regal Salvia is a cross between Salvia guaranitica and Salvia gesneraeflora. Rising above the textured mint-green leaves, spikes of vibrant violet-blue blooms add glorious color all summer until frost, and are adored by hummingbirds everywhere. With its upright stance and cool shades, 'Purple Majesty' complements the warmer hues of Helianthus angustifolius (Pale Form) for a splendid autumn union.

Deep velvety purple, 2" tubular blooms are born on tall spikes from Spring to Fall on this vigorous perennial. Rich green glossy foliage and an easy garden addition. Great for Hummingbirds and Butterflies.Anise or Brazilian Sage, Salvia guaranitica, is an upright growing perennial that may flower nearly continuously from spring to frost. It has been known to spread by rhizomes but under most conditions stays neatly where it's put and where hardy will return year after year. Provide full to partial sun with average drainage with average moisture for best results. Periodic deadheading is not required but may help to keep the plants looking fresher.
