Salvia verticillata 'Endless Love' PP21707

Common Name: Perennial Salvia, Whorled Sage

This selection of perennial salvia features violet blue flower spikes atop compact, upright plants. It blooms for many weeks beginning in early summer, and the flowering period can be extended into late summer if plants are cut back after the first flush of blooms.

The coarse, green foliage forms an outwardly spreading clump in the landscape.

This is a clump forming perennial with oblong leaves which are aromatic when crushed. The flowers add great texture and fragrance to both fresh and dried bouquets. Use this plant in containers or the middle of the flower border.

Salvia is easy to grow in almost any climate. Though it is drought tolerant, it will bloom better with regular watering. Deadheading encourages a longer bloom time. If plants get leggy during the season, cut them all the way back to the newly developed foliage. If cut back, plants may rebloom in fall but often the flowers are fewer and smaller.
