I am a smaller growing salvia with a compact habit and stunning large deep blue prolific blooms from late spring through autumn.
My fragrant foliage is borne on upright stems and is naturally even and bushy. My leaves can be crushed to better appreciate the beautiful aroma.
I am very hardy and enjoy extremes of heat and humidity. I am happy in full sun and tolerate significant shade.
My flowers are enjoyed by nectar feeding birds and beneficial insects.
My flowers can be cut to be enjoyed indoors and removing spent blooms will encourage me to bloom even more.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I produce large deep blue flowers from late spring through autumn above my naturally compact fragrant foliage
I attract bees, butterflies and beneficial insects
