My favorite new plant for 2019! You’ll just love the color of the plentiful blooms! Not blue, not purple, but a beautiful royal blue-purple quite unlike any other Salvia. TOUGH EASY and FAST to form a dense compact mound of small olive foliage, it’s loaded with upright wiry stems holding the small S. greggii - like flowers that wave gently in the breeze. Heat tolerant and deer resistant, it’s best in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Shear back occasionally for best habit and rebloom. Hummers!
