An improvement over most salvia varieties featuring dark-purple flower spikes that bloom early and continue to rebloom heavily throughout the summer on sturdy stalks. Profuse flowering provides amazing color all through summer on a low maintenance, pest and disease resistant plant. Highly uniform in width and height, making this plant perfect for mass plantings, borders, or containers. Does not look shabby or spent half way through summer.
