Stocky and floriferous From summer to autumn, Salvia Violin Music bears delicate, slender racemes of small, violet-blue flowers with dramatic, near-black calyces. Its aromatic, grey-green foliage forms neat mounds, making it ideal for the front of a border or perhaps a container display. Like all salvias it is valued for its long flowering period, vivid colouring, and nectar-rich blooms. It mixes easily with a wide range of other plants; we particularly love it in a cottage-garden-style scheme, in combination with pinks, purples and whites. Think allium, nepeta, scabious, delphinium, and geranium, with roses and clematis scrambling up supports for added height. For best results grow in a sunny, sheltered spot in well-draining, moderately fertile soil, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. Salvia Violin Music is hardy to between -10 C and -15 C, so should overwinter easily in most UK gardens, however dislikes cold and wet soil. Delay cutting back until new growth emerges in spring for the added insulation this offers the crown. H&S: 60-90cm.
