As always, the plants arrived in a beautiful, healthy condition. Carefully and sturdily packaged. The Romence people really care. I'd buy anything from them, and I live in Virginia.
Have continued to these Salvia as annuals in Zone 5 and as perennials in Zone 8 over the past years. Lovely plants
That keep a well-kept tidy upright appearance, blooms well in a full sun location; drought resistant once well established. I prune off any fading blooms but doesn’t seem to be needed with occasional fertilization and average use of water. My 2nd year Salvia are returning very healthy and robust in a full sun, rocky landscape area here in Zone 8 in South Carolina.
I'd heard this was a great variety of blue salvia, but I couldn't find it near where I live in eastern Virginia. Romence was one of the few places online I could find it. The three plants i bought came healthy and carefully packaged. From the start, they did well in the garden, spread nicely, and made lovely cut flowers, especially with my benary giant zinnias. I will definitely buy them again.
This Salvia has a soft, muted lavender appearance that contrasts nicely with the more vivid yellow marigolds and red zinnias that I planted it amongst. The tips of the blossoms look as though they are covered in frost! A favorite of the bees in my garden.
