Intense violet-pink flowers (result of a hummer enjoying pink S. lycioides and blue S. greggii!) cover this compact and aromatic (no deer/rabbits!) 2' perennial late summer into fall; from the Ogden?s CO garden. S/M-D/GDr PPAF

Hummers will be ultra happy with this exciting new salvia! Electric violet flowers bloom from spring to summer on very little water. Cold hardy, too! Minimum temperature: -20?F

By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

Selected by Lauren Springer and Scott Ogden in Ft. Collins, Colorado, this fantastic new hybrid originated from a hummingbird initiated cross between Salvia lycioides and Salvia greggii. Legions of iridescent deep violet-pink 2-lipped blooms dazzle upright flower spikes and fine cut glistening deep green foliage that shapes a compact rounded habit. Cold hardy 'Ultra Violet' lures butterflies, appreciates well-drained soil, withstands drought, rabbits and deer, and looks ultra-fine in just about any landscape. (uspp#21,411)
