Salvia greggii 'Ultra Violet' PPAF
Ultra Violet Hybrid Sage
An amazing garden performer, Salvia 'Ultra Violet' was selected by Lauren Springer and Scott Ogden from their garden in Ft. Collins, Colorado. An abundance of intense violet flowers adorn dark green, finely cut foliage well into autumn. 'Ultra Violet' thrives in lean-loamy and clay-loamy well-drained soils in full sun. Thought to be a hummingbird initiated cross between blue flowered Salvia lycioides and rose-pink Salvia greggii, the aromatic foliage of 'Ultra Violet' keeps the deer and rabbits away while blooms entice hummingbirds throughout the seasons.
