Blue Queen is a stunning salvia variety that offers a source of dark, intense color and a narrow, vertical form. It attracts butterflies to the garden and leaves visitors impressed.
To achieve a spring bloom, sow the seeds directly in the garden during midsummer. Alternatively, start the seeds indoors in late winter for blooms in the first year.
