• If you’re looking for bold colour and lots of wildlife in your garden, then Salvia ‘Black & Blue’ is a great choice. The deep blue flowers and nearly black calyces give a dramatic contrast in beds, borders and patio containers from summer well into autumn.
• One of the main draws of Salvia 'Black & Blue' is its popularity with bees, butterflies and other pollinators. The tall flower spikes offer a long lasting source of nectar making it a great addition to wildlife friendly gardens and adding a splash of colour just when many other plants are starting to fade.
• This salvia likes a sunny spot and well-drained soil and will give a succession of flowers throughout the season. Water regularly when the plant is establishing itself and then only during prolonged dry periods. Removing spent flower spikes will encourage fresh blooms and help keep the show going until the first frosts.
• Salvia 'Black & Blue' is an easy plant to grow and a rewarding plant to have in the garden whether you are planting a cottage garden, creating a mixed perennial border or filling containers on a sunny patio. Its unique flower colour, long flowering season and ability to attract pollinators make this a variety that will give interest and colour for months on end.
