| Cultivation:
Here's a new Salvia that made me do a double take when I first
saw it. It's one of the few annuals with true blue flowers. The
foliage is glossy and quite attractive. This very impressive new
Salvia from Ball Seed deserves a spot in every flower bed. Salvia
'Black and Blue' grows equally well in containers or beds.
Plant Salvia Black and Blue in full sun to partial shade in moist, fertile well
drained soil in either beds or containers. Midday shade is beneficial.
Space plants 18" - 24" apart. Feed monthly with a
balanced liquid fertilizer when in beds, twice monthly in
containers.
Potential pests ~ diseases: Aphids or
whiteflies.
