Salvia ‘African Sky' is a tough, hardy salvia, bearing masses of pretty, sky-blue flowers throughout summer and into autumn. It’s well-suited to growing in a mixed herbaceous border, but will also perform well in a container on a warm, sunny patio.
Grow Salvia ‘African Sky' in a sheltered, sunny spot in full sun to dappled shade. Cut back blooms as they fade to promote a second flush. Prune back and apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost in autumn.
