50 Seeds Blue Queen Salvia Salvia farinacea Drought Tolerant

Blue Queen Salvia is a compact, clump-forming perennial grown as an annual in colder zones, prized for its dense spikes of deep violet-blue flowers that rise above narrow green foliage. Blooming through summer into autumn, it brings long-lasting vertical color to beds, borders, and containers and blends well with other sun-loving plants.
Ideal for mixed borders, cutting gardens, and mass plantings, its upright flower spikes also work well in fresh and dried arrangements. The plants are easy to grow and dependable in the ground or in patio pots, attracting bees and butterflies to the garden.
