Salvia with striking spikes of smoky blue-purple flowers, blooming from spring through to late autumn. Delightfully fragrant, its blue-green foliage is well-branched, forming a lush mound of greenery beneath the blooms. It can be pruned back during the growing season to encourage fresh growth. Azurea thrives in well-drained soil, especially over winter, and is tolerant of frost. As a perennial, it’s an excellent choice for water-wise gardens and challenging areas, while also attracting birds and bees.
