Salvia Mysty

General Information

This salvia has dark green leaves and is covered with true blue flowers. Naturally more compact than Mystic Spires Blue, with a full appearance. It is perfect for landscapes and mixed combos.

Grower Information

This medium-vigor salvia is about 25 to 35% less vigorous than Mystic Spires, making it a better variety for mixes. Covered with true blue flowers all season, the dark green-leafed plants are well-branched and very free-flowering. Heat-hardy plants are great for late Spring/Summer programs. Ideal for middle of the garden borders and 10 to 12-in. (25 to 30-cm) mixed containers.
