I love salvia Victoria Blue. It is usually an annual for me - I say usually because last winter several plants did overwinter for me, and additionally I had lots of reseeders.

I originally planted it to go with my roses. Unfortunately, the Victoria bloomed about a week or so later, but mine was started from seed. A store-bought and/or greenhouse-started plant may bloom a bit earlier. Despite the mistimed blooms, I ended up loving it. It looks good with the repeat roses, and lasts well into November for me.

Here is a photo from several Novembers ago. Sorry for the poor quality - cheap camera!
