A bushy variety producing a profusion of long lasting soft icy blue flower spikes on a perfectly rounded plant; cut back after flowering to promote re-bloom; somewhat drought tolerant; excellent for the sunny border or containers

Perfect Profusion Salvia has masses of beautiful spikes of powder blue flowers rising above the foliage from late spring to late summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its fragrant narrow leaves remain grayish green in color throughout the season.
It is an herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. Recommended for use in mass platings, borders, or as a thriller in container plantings.
