Strong spires of charmingly coloured flowers stand proud above fabulous shiny leaves, on tall, branching square stems. Salvia farinacea ‘Farina Arctic Blue’ bears 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 or in open ground where they look fabulous ‘en masse’. Native to Mexico and parts of the United States, this charismatic, half-hardy perennial is commonly referred to as mealy sage due to the colouration and light dusting on the sepals. The perfect choice for anyone creating their very own cutting garden flowers are often said to resemble lavender and Salvia farinacea ‘Farina Arctic Blue’ looks magnificent in any dried or fresh flower arrangement. Plant in well-drained soil which is loam or sand based. Position in full sun or light shade with a south or east facing aspect. Matures to a height of 45cm, with a spread of 40cm.
