Plant information

Plant Description

Salvia guaranitica ‘Argentina Skies,’ chosen by Charles Cresson, presents a striking departure from the usual traits of Salvia guaranitica. This towering specimen showcases numerous tubular sky-blue flowers from June (in North Carolina) until the onset of fall, contrasting with the darker blue tones commonly seen. While displaying some stoloniferous tendencies, its spread is limited. ‘Argentina Skies’ Salvia proves to be a resilient addition to cooler-toned sections within perennial borders, earning favour among hummingbirds and boasting ease of cultivation.
