Salvia - Blue Victoria
The Blue Victoria Salvia, 'Salvia farinacea, is native to Texas and New Mexico. Lovely spikes of deep purple-blue flowers cover this dwarf variety. The 1/2 inch long flowers are clustered densely along upright stems which rise above the foliage. Blue Victoria Salvias bloom summer through fall. Place this flower in full sun and in average well drained garden soil for best results. Blue Victoria Salvias require moisture but not too much. The ideal soil condition is slightly dry.

Plant 2 weeks after the last frost where the Blue Victoria is an annual. ... find out more
