Slender upright spires of rich blue-violet flowers on dark stems in early and mid-summer above wrinkled, mid-green leaves. This vibrant mid-border salvia is perfect for introducing a splash of a colour in a moist but well-drained border. It flourishes in sun or light dappled shade and is highly attractive to butterflies and bees, creating a summer-long, deep blue haze with the many flower-spikes that rise from densely-clumped stems of rough-textured, narrow-ovate foliage.
Where to plant: Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, and patio pots.
How to care: Cut back faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Prune in early spring to promote fresh growth. Drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice.
Supplied in approx 2-3 litre containers, full of buds and flowers in season.
