Salvia Blue Butterflies
An NWP introduction.
This is a very different Salvia in every respect to what is seen in the commercial market. This was a deliberate cross between two species which has resulted in this very pretty hybrid. It is a tall flowering plant with trailing branches that benefits from a little support (but not essential), leaves are large and triangular shaped. Flowers are vivid gentian blue, from mid-summer onwards.
Needs protection over winter. 1.2m x 90cm.
