Basionym Salvia Beautiful Blue

Salvia 'Beautiful Blue' is a very hardy, evergreen, scrambling shrublet with bright green, minty scented leaves. 

Clusters of beautiful sky-blue delicate funnel-shaped flowers are borne almost all year round which attract pollinating insects to the garden. They make beautiful cut flowers.

This is a small, very pretty shrublet that can be used as a groundcover. Prune lightly to keep in shape and encourage mass flowering.

Create a pretty border or plant amongst small grasses. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil.

Size: up to 30cm

Nectar Plant: Sunbirds and insects feed on the nectar from the flowers

Pollen plant: Bees and other pollinating insects visit the Wild Sage flowers for pollen
