Betsy's Choice Salvia (s. guaranitica hybrid) We love the large dark royal purple blooms on this hybrid salvia almost as much as our hummingbirds do! This salvia originates from the gardens of renowned salvia author Betsy Clebcsh. Does not form tubers, but is similar to black n' blue salvia as it will spread a bit (up to 4') in the right climate so give it plenty of room! Blooms continuously Spring through first frost. Hardy in zone 8 and above but can survive zone 7 in a protected location or with additional winter mulching. Easy to grow, drought tolerant perennial zones 8-11. One live plant in 3 inch container. |
