Strong spires of charmingly coloured flowers stand proud above fabulous shiny leaves, on tall, branching square stems. Salvia farinacea 'Farina Arctic Blue' bares magnificent two-toned purple-blue and white blooms that catch the sun like the ice-cold arctic waters. They are brilliantly weather resistant and flower profusely for an incredible six months from late spring to the first frosts. Plant them in a rustic ceramic pot where they will peacefully sway in the summer breeze. This charismatic, half-hardy perennial is commonly referred to as mealy sage, native to Mexico, Nuevo Leon, and parts of the United States such as Oklahoma and Texas. The common name comes from the light dusting of powder found on the blooms.This is the perfect choice for anyone creating their very own cutting garden. Often said to resemble Lavender, Salvia farinacea looks extraordinary in any dried or fresh flower arrangement.Plant in well-drained compost in full sun or light shade. H: 45cm, S: 30cm.
