SALVIA ‘Velocity Blue’

This annual is a sure way to add beautiful, bold blues to your garden this spring and summer. An early bloomer, it features large, dark blue flower spikes. It is a bushy, upright plant with intense color and unusually large flowers. Best of all, it has very good heat tolerance for the hot humid days of summer.

It boasts strong stems, and a dense growth habit. It makes an excellent plant for adding height to combination containers. Salvia ‘Velocity Blue’ makes a great landscape plant for ground beds or mixed containers, especially when used with other bright red or yellow annuals.

Salvia ‘Velocity Blue’ adds an attractive structure and height to plantings and will also attract butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden.
