Plant Features
Our Rhapsody in Blue Salvia Plant is enjoyed most for its bushy, clumpy form and for its incredible blue-violet coloration. Known to attract butterflies, this nicely aromatic meadow sage, bruise the leaves a bit in order to heighten the amount of fragrance released. Cut them back after the first bloom, bringing them indoors for your vases, encouraging a second bloom and even more aromatic blossoms with which to decorate your interior space. Rhapsody is heavenly!
