Salvia 'Purple and Bloom'
- Salvias never fail to put smiles on our faces, and 'Purple and Bloom' is no exception!
- Growing to just over a metre tall, this salvia boasts spectacular royal purple flower plumes that demand attention from the back of the border.
- With its long flowering period, blooming throughout summer and well into autumn, this is a workaholic of a plant. Keep on top of deadheading for more flowers!
- Salvias are firm fan favourites of both bees and butterflies, so you can expect a bit of a wildlife boost from planting this variety.
- The blooms are held atop a backdrop of lush green foliage, which serves as the perfect canvas against which the flowers can really shine.
