Salvia

There are several of Salvia that are commonly grown. We grow both Salvia splendens and Salvia farinacea.

Salvia splendens is available in several colors. We grow both red and purple. It is available in both a dwarf form that grows to about 12 inches and a larger form that can get as tall as two feet. This plant is good in sun to part shade.

We grow Salvia farinacea in it's blue form. This is a tall growing plant up to 24 inches or even a bit more. It is best adapted to full sun or part shade.

Both salvie types are free flowering from late spring until the first autumn frost.
