Blue Hills Salvia

Blue Hills Salvia (Salvia x sylvestris 'Blue Hills'), also known as 'Blauhügel', is widely considered the truest blue of all the perennial sages. Unlike other varieties that lean toward purple or violet, 'Blue Hills' produces dense, upright spikes of clear, sky-blue flowers that create a cooling effect in the sun-drenched summer garden. It forms a tidy, aromatic mound of grey-green foliage that remains compact and professional-looking throughout the season.

As a dependable member of the Salvia genus, this variety is a "standard" for a reason: it is exceptionally hardy, drought-tolerant, and has a shorter, more manageable habit than many of its cousins. If sheared back after the first spring flush, it will reward you with a reliable second show of blue in late summer. Why you’ll love it: The truest blue color available in a hardy Salvia, compact mounding habit, and a favorite "refueling station" for bees and butterflies.
