Salvia Bodacious 'Smokey Jazz'

A nice, healthy bushy with lush, bright green leaves and plenty of dark stems, bearing plum purple florets from black calyxes. Great garden presence and very appealing for friendly pollinators.

Salvia ‘Smokey Jazz’ is a great choice for gardens or large containers. These rugged plants require little and do so much. Similar breeding to the legendary ‘Black and Bloom’ and ‘Purple and Bloom’, more compact and just as good.

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.
