Salvia ‘Salgoon Lake Blueberry’, 2L
With spikes of intense blue flowers that appear above aromatic foliage from early spring to late autumn, Salvia ‘Salgoon Lake Blueberry’ makes a wonderful addition to the garden. A magnet for bees and butterflies, the long flowering plant is also notable for its resilience -thriving in hot and dry conditions once established. It is, however, a tender perennial, so will need protection to survive the winter.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 2L
