Description:
Salvia longispicata x farinacea 'Rockin'® Playin' The Blues
A long-blooming salvia with deep indigo-blue flowers that emerge from smoky black calyxes, giving it a rich, layered look in the garden. The upright habit and continuous blooms make it perfect for sunny borders, large planters, or mixed pollinator displays. Hummingbirds and bees flock to its nectar-rich spikes, while deer and rabbits usually stay away. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it handles heat and drought with ease, providing steady color and texture from early summer through frost.
