Salvia Blue Hill (Salvia x sylvestris 'Blue Hill')

Description:
Salvia Blue Hill (Salvia x sylvestris 'Blue Hill') is a compact, upright perennial celebrated for its dense spikes of true blue to blue-purple flowers that bloom from late spring through summer, often reblooming with deadheading. The aromatic, gray-green foliage forms tidy mounds, adding texture and fragrance to the garden. Exceptionally drought and heat tolerant, Blue Hill is deer and rabbit resistant and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. This pollinator magnet attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it ideal for borders, mass plantings, pollinator gardens, and containers. The 2-gallon size offers an established plant ready to make an immediate impact in your landscape.
