Salvia farinacea

Salvia farinacea - Blue Sage

Enhance your garden with the vibrant and resilient Salvia farinacea, commonly known as Blue Sage. This living plant, established in a 2-liter plastic grow bag, is a stunning choice for adding color and texture to any landscape.

About the Plant: Salvia farinacea is celebrated for its tall, spiky clusters of deep blue to violet flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It typically grows to a height of 45 to 60cm with a similar spread, making it perfect for borders, garden beds, or container planting.

Plant Care:

• Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
• Watering: Requires moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained soil; sandy or loamy soil is ideal.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote robust growth and abundant blooms.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and cut back the plant in early spring to maintain its shape and vigor.

With its easy care requirements and striking floral display, Salvia farinacea is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to infuse their outdoor spaces with long-lasting color.
