Salvia 'indigo Spires'

What is the plant

Prized by gardeners, Salvia 'Indigo Spires' is a vigorous shrubby perennial with masses of long, twisted spikes of indigo blue flowers held in dusky purple calyces. Blooming continuously from early summer to frost, the waving flowering stems, up to 15 in. (37 cm), are held well above the foliage of dark green, ovate leaves. Well-branched and very free-flowering, this terrific sage is perfect for beds and borders where it adds a long season of color. Almost iridescent in the fall, the flowers dry well and hold their color in flower arrangements.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Although they are drought-tolerant perennials once established, a moderate amount of water must be supplied to young plants.
Fertilizer
Salvias require little or no fertilizer, they're a very easy-going plant to have in your garden. If you're going to feed them, it's best to do so after the blooming season is over.
Sunlight
Grow May night salvia flowers in an area with full sun; a south-facing location is just right for this plant.

Soil
May night salvia needs well-draining soil to be a successful plant; you may need to add sand to the soil to help it drain well.
Temperature
May night salvia flowers are best grown in USDA planting zones 4-8.
Additional
May night salvia is not toxic to humans or pets. But, some other varieties of salvia do have hallucinogenic qualities—the ancient Greeks used salvia as a memory enhancer!—and if you're not exactly sure what you or Fido has eaten, always make a call to your doctor or veterinarian to be on the safe side.
