Warm Season Annual (Perennial in zones 8 - 10.) Blooms summer to late fall. 18" tall. Full sun.
Blue Victoria Salvia puts out showy spikes of deep purple-blue flowers clustered on dwarf stems. Typically blooms from July through October. This Texas and New Mexico native does well in hot and humid climates where it grows on dry hillsides. Also called Mealy Cup Sage, in the garden it also prefers well-drained soil that is slightly dry. No need to pamper with fertilizer - too much fertilizer will promote lots of foliage and no blooms! Looks best planted in groups in borders or other planting areas. Nice cut or dried flower, especially in winter bouquets. Cut spent flowers frequently to prolong bloom period.
OUTDOORS: In USDA zones 1 - 8, start indoors for growing as an annual. In USDA zones 8 - 10, sow seed directly outside in the place where you want it to grow as a perennial.
INSIDE: Recommended in all but USDA zones 8 - 10. Sow 10 - 12 weeks before average last frost.
SPECIAL GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS: Seed requires light to germinate - press lightly into soil surface and keep moist.
