Salvia nemorosa 'Blue Hill' - 72 per flat
A long-hoped-for color break in garden Salvia. Ernst Pagels selected it for bluer flowers and compact habit. Insect and disease resistant, long flowered and tough as its brethren to follow. Attracts birds, butterflies and bees.
Prefers average, clay or sandy, well-drained soils in full sun. Drought, heat and humidity tolerant. Shear after blooming to prompt fresh foliage and flowers.
Salvia comes from the Latin salvere, meaning to heal or save.
The leaves are aromatic when crushed.
