Indigo Spires Sage is a live 4-inch plant that grows into a big bushy mound and sends up long, tapering spikes of indigo-blue to violet flowers on dark stems — and then keeps sending them up for months.

Salvia 'Indigo Spires' can reach about 4 feet tall and wide, so give it room at the back of a sunny border or make it the centerpiece of a large patio container. Bees work the spikes all season and hummingbirds come for them too, and the stems are long and straight enough to cut for a tall vase. It wants full sun, steady moisture, and drainage it can rely on.

Grower's note: Pinch the young growth once in spring for a fuller, sturdier plant, then shorten the spent spikes as they fade — that is what keeps new flowers coming from summer straight through fall.
