This perennial sage produces vibrant, pencil-thin bloomspikes that create a solid wall of color in the border.
The dwarf 12-inch plants bloom in early summer and repeat their display later in the season with deep blue flowers.
Blue Queen is a stunning salvia variety that adds dark, intense color and a vertical form to the garden, attracting butterflies and capturing the attention of visitors.
To achieve spring bloom, sow the seeds directly in midsummer or start them indoors in late winter for first-year flowering.
Thriving in sunny conditions and tolerant of drought, this salvia is not picky about soil and often blooms again.
