Comments:
This variety of salvia is of relatively recent orgin. The blue flowers are borne on tall spikes. Provide salvias with full sunlight and a well drained soil. They bloom for a long period from late spring until frost. This one makes a good cutflower in both a fresh or dried condition. Remove old flower heads to encourage new growth and more blooming
