Product Description
This is one especially compact salvia. It only grows to a mature height of 12-15", ideal along the front of a pollinator-friendly perennial bed. The foliage is nice and rounded—you could even keep this in a quart pot. The bloom color is rich and stunning. The dark calyxes that hold the flowers to the stems are especially retentive, too, so those gorgeous blooms will stick around for a while. The foliage has a little texture, and a scent when crushed that humans find lovely, but deer and rabbits can't stand. Hungry deer will eat nearly anything, but this is rarely on the list.
