This is, however, a very vigorous perennial plant, and we sometimes need to 'weed' it here and there in our garden. It grows in a compost yard even after being thrown away.
We prune it two to three times a year after flowering and it flowers again after pruning.
Many kinds of wildlife come to this flowers for nectar; bees, butterflies, moths, and bumblebees.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blue flower. The plants are obviously very happy in your garden and excellent for wildlife. Another one for my wish list, I think!

Lovely colour, one of my favourites. I have had another Salvia in the garden this year, more of a purply-blue.
