Zone: 3LIVING LARGE™ BIG SKY MEADOW SAGE
Salvia 'Big Sky' is a standout selection from the Living Large® series, earned its name through its impressive, super-sized stature. It produces exceptionally tall and dense spikes of saturated violet-blue flowers that rise cleanly above a robust, oversized, deep green leaves. Unlike many other meadow sages that finish their primary show by early June, 'Big Sky' is known for blooming slightly later and for a longer duration, effectively bridging the gap into midsummer. Its thick, sturdy stems and prolific secondary branching ensure a massive floral display that acts as a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
The ideal spot for Salvia 'Big Sky' is a prominent location in full sun to partial shade. It is best suited for the middle or back of a perennial border, or as a structural focal point in large landscape groupings and mass plantings. To thrive, 'Big Sky' requires well-draining soil and can adapt to a range of types, from sandy to clay loam, provided it does not sit in winter-damp conditions. It is remarkably heat and drought-tolerant once established and remains naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for expansive garden beds.
