The Technique

Black & Blue Salvia makes wonderful specimens to showcase in garden spaces as the spikes bloom from the summer months well into fall. They can get rather tall so cut them back several times for waves of hot color during their growing season. Black & Blue Salvias make a lovely container plant & they thrive well near fence posts. Water them regularly in hot weather to keep them looking their best. Black & Blue Salvia clippings make striking accents to yard arrangements as the blooms offer bold color & texture to them. Complimentary garden classics such as narrow leaf zinnia & butterfly bush make a beautiful impact when paired together in glass containers. Consider placing them on kitchen sills, near sink basins & on vanities.
