I have to grow this as an annual & it certainly does not reach the height it would in warmer locations but I think it is a great plant.

The best salvia that I ever bought. The humming birds just love it. When a peice breaks off I just insert it in soil and it roots. Mine got extremely big this year. Mary-Gainesville, GA

Taken on 24th August 06. The blue is much deeper, a difficult colour to capture. Grown from small plants received in May.
