Plant Features
Black and Blue Salvia is one of the most exciting sage plants to hit the market! Bright leaves upon deep green stems bear the most amazing periwinkle blue florets embraced by truly black sepals. Known to attract butterflies, the white splash on the true-blue flowers only tends to accentuate the rich black outer petals. Tall and graceful, plant these in large, hefty pots or use them as a border or hedge.
