Salvia Bodacious 'Rhythm and Blues'

A nice, healthy bushy with lush, bright to mid green leaves and plenty of dark, upright stems, bearing deep blue florets from black calyxes. Great garden presence and very appealing for friendly insect pollinators and local birds.

Salvia ‘Rhythm and Blues’ is a great choice for gardens or large containers. These rugged plants require little and do so much. They boast similar breeding to the legendary ‘Black and Bloom’ and ‘Purple and Bloom’, but are more compact and just as vigorous and long flowering.

Plant into moderately fertile, to humus rich, well drained soil. Choose a sunny position and water to establish, they become dry tolerant once they have settled in.

The aromatic foliage and abundant flowers attract bees, butterflies and birds. Especially the birds! Sometimes I have found they love the flowers a little too much and the larger birds can bend the branches. But it is wonderful to have the birds and there are enough stems produced by this vigorous Salvia that it still looks good.
