Salvia corrugata

Presenting another enchanting Salvia, this plant creates a petite, almost woody framework adorned with dark evergreen leaves. Its elegance is accentuated by terminal clusters of deep blue flowers, each cradled by an almost black calyx. While tender and in need of frost protection, it thrives best in a sun-kissed, well-drained location, generously blooming throughout the summer and autumn seasons. Standing at a height of 90-120cm (3-4'), it becomes a vertical masterpiece in the garden, offering both structural interest and a profusion of captivating blossoms. This wonderful Salvia captures the essence of seasonal beauty, providing an enduring display in the landscape. More Salvias for sale here
