Salvia nemorosa 'Crystal Blue'

Perennial sages are well worth growing in ornamental borders, where their nectar-rich flowers will appear from mid- to late summer.

Salvia nemorosa ‘Crystal Blue’ bears tall spikes of sky blue flowers, contrasting with fragrant, veined, mid-green foliage. It’s perfect for planting in containers, or near a bench or path, where you can enjoy its pretty blooms and fragrant foliage. The flowers are extremely attractive bees and other pollinators.

For best results grow Salvia nemorosa ‘Crystal Blue’ in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage further blooms. Plants may need protection in extreme winters.
