Salvia viridis 'Blue'

Salvia viridis is an annual sage, grown for its colourful pink, blue or white bracts, borne on upright stems in summer.

Salvia viridis 'Blue' bears plants with large purple-blue bracts. It's perfect for growing en masse in a mixed herbaceous border, and makes an excellent cut flower, the bracts holding their colour well.

Grow Salvia viridis 'Blue' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, but allow some to develop seedheads so they can self-seed around the garden.
