Plant description
Closely related to the ever-popular 'Caradonna', this new decorative sage shares similar characteristics to its cousin - apart from the unique colour of its flowers, which are a rich sky blue. They will mix really well with stronger purples, plums, most shades of pink and even silvers.

How to care for Salvia nemorosa Crystal Blue (Color Spires Series):
To prolong flowering remove the flower spikes as soon as they start to fade. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
