Salvia, Transylvanian

Transylvanian Salvia is a favorite perennial bloomer for us.  It's drought-tolerant once established, cold hardy and blooms a long time!!!  Great for your edible landscape, parking strip, cut flower/cottage garden, really anywhere that you want some pretty blue violet blooms.  The pollinators love it! 

This variety produces large, heavily textured rosettes of bright green foliage and deep violet/blue spikes of that classic "lobster claw" shaped salvia blooms.  This is a lobster claw that doesn't pinch!  

Transylvanian Salvia grows to 30" across and 24-30" tall.  Plants are pretty sturdy and don't generally require staking, in our experience.  Thrives in full sun with well-draining soil, and pretty low maintenance once established.  Blooms first year and thereafter! We've pinched the seedlings to encourage branching (yay!).
