Enhance your garden with the vibrant, long-lasting beauty of Kew Flower House Salvia Farinacea Victoria Blue. Known for its striking spikes of deep, rich blue flowers, this versatile perennial adds a touch of elegance and bold colour to any garden. The spiky, violet-blue blooms are set against aromatic green foliage, creating a visually appealing contrast.

Sowing Instructions:
Sow Salvia Farinacea Victoria Blue seeds indoors in early spring, 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Use seed trays or pots filled with well-draining compost and lightly press the seeds into the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the compost moist but not overly wet and maintain a temperature of 18-20°C for optimal germination, which usually occurs within 14-21 days. Once the seedlings have grown large enough, harden them off and transplant them outdoors after the last frost date, to a sunny or partially shaded position with well-drained, fertile soil. Space the plants about 30-35 cm apart to allow them room to grow.
This hardy perennial reaches a height of 45-60 cm, producing stunning blue flower spikes from mid-summer to autumn. Salvia Farinacea Victoria Blue thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and it is fairly drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens. It is a great choice for adding colour and texture to mixed borders, cottage gardens, or even as a border plant in a vegetable garden. Kew Flower House Salvia Farinacea Victoria Blue will provide beautiful, vibrant blooms throughout the growing season, while also attracting pollinators to your garden.
