This new petite salvia blooms a month earlier than the popular 'May Night', providing an extended bloom period from spring right through summer! Blue-violet flower spikes rise from dense, sturdy, upright foliage. Great drought and mildew resistance. Perfect for meadows, garden borders, and mixed patio containers. An herbaceous perennial.
CARE
Thrives in average, well-drained soils. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates periodic drought. Fertilize before new growth begins in spring. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued bloom. Prune annually after flowering.
