Salvia farinacea is a tender perennial often grown as an annual. Its name refers to the pale, powdery hairs on the calyces and upper stems.
Botanical characteristics
Upright spikes carry small flowers in blue to violet shades, with white selections also available. This ornamental sage differs from the broad red-flowered display familiar in Salvia splendens.
Powdery calyces and upright flower spikes
Victoria blue is documented for intense violet-blue flowers and dark stems. The list also includes Victoria white and Victory blue and white mixture. These separate named references let resellers compare a defined colour selection with a mixture in the bulk range.
