Salvia patens 'Cambridge Blue' / 'Sky Blue'

  • Product number: 602390
  • Origin: Mexico
  • Latin: Salvia patens

There are many blue Salvias, but the patens is exceptionally beautiful. The flower cluster is sparse and the labiate flowers are large with long lips. The light sky-blue color stands out beautifully against the fresh light green of the hairy stems and leaves..... The height is 75-90 cm, store the plants in a frost-free place; a harsh winter is fatal.

Names:
Latin: Salvia patens
Dutch: Salie
English: Gentian sage
