These colors go together like pepper jelly and cream cheese! One of the most unique salvias is Salvia guaranitica 'Black and Blue'. Standing around 4' tall, this perennial is a standout in the garden. It also has the ability to spread quite nicely. As we go further north, hardiness is questionable based upon the winter. At my parents house near Crossville, TN, this plant has never came back! Even though hardiness is a question mark in some higher parts of Tennessee, this plant deserves to be replanted each year!
Hi! This is Becky, Charlotte's mom...love your blog! i have this black and blue salvia planted by my back porch. It comes up every year and the hummingbirds love it! I would like to divide it and move it...any suggestions? Hope you guys are doing well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky! I'm glad you read it! The next best time to divide this salvia would be springtime. Whenever the plant starts to break the ground, dig the plant up and divide replanting where you want. Spring would be best and it requires less watering than dividing in the summer. I hope this helps!
