Black and Blue Salvia
|
The Salvia Black and Blue, 'Salvia guaranitica', is a tall and attractive plant that has an upright growth habit which reaches 2 to 3 feet in height. The bi-colored blooms are 3/4 of an inch in size and occur in both spring and the fall. This selection of the hardy anise sage differs from the norm in that the calyx (the little cup that holds the open flower) is black instead of the usual green. This eye catching Salvia offers abundant deep blue cobalt blue tubular blooms that are an absolute favorite of hummingbirds.They are hardy to 15 degrees.

Lady in Red Salvia
The Salvia Lady in Red, 'Salvia coccinea', is an elegant alternative to the more familiar scarlet salvia varieties usually seen in bedding schemes. The flower-spikes have all the vivacity of those popular plants, but they are longer and less cluttered with blooms, which gives the plants an airy grace and more of a shrub-like appearance. They are very uniform plants and are heat and drought tolerant. This red-spiked variety performs well in containers and small space gardens. They are virtually irresistible to hummingbirds, butterflies and bees.

This Salvia is also known as Mealy-Cup Sage because the flowers and stems are fuzzy. The bluish green leaves and the deep blue flower spikes bloom all summer long until first frost in autumn. Deadheading might help insure rebloom into autumn.

Santa Barbara Salvia
The Salvia Santa Barbara, 'Salvia leucantha', a Proven Selections plant, grows to barely one-third the size of common Mexican Sage.

It needs planting in full sun, and clipping later in the year to maintain a good shape and appearance.For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial.
