Plant Features
The aptly named Salvia Bumbleblue reminds us that a Salvia plant is the perfect stage to watch the busy bumblebees doing their important work this summer. The violet blue flowers rise above the dark green foliage on tall spikes and attract a wide variety of pollinators. A prolific bloomer, this easy to grow plant only wants for sun and does well in small containers or in the front of the border. Known to attract butterflies!
