Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Clouds of white flowers erupt from this lovely Salvia from late spring thru fall. This EXCLUSIVE salvia was hand selected by our own Annie’s team for its pure white blooms & unbeatable bloomiferousness! While more colorful flowers may have you swooning during the day, there’s nothing like white flowers to beautify the garden at night. Plant somewhere you will see it from the evening onwards – a location that be able to reflect light from the house or street is best. Forms an evergreen airy mound 3’ high & 2’ wide with fragrant foliage. Performs beautifully in a large container. Trim back regularly to maintain a bushy form & encourage more blooms. Good drainage is best.
