BLACK AND BLOOM SAGE
Salvia 'Black & Bloom' is a standout selection prized for its dramatic, high-contrast floral display. This improved cultivar produces large, cobalt-blue tubular flowers that emerge from deep black calyxes on dark, sturdy stems. Unlike many other salvias, it features lush, vibrant green foliage that remains thick and attractive throughout the season, providing a dense backdrop for the continuous stream of blooms. As a prolific flowering machine from late spring until the first frost, it serves as an essential nectar source for hummingbirds and large butterflies, often becoming the most active spot in a pollinator garden.
The ideal spot for Salvia 'Black & Bloom' is a prominent location in full sun to partial shade, though it performs best with at least six hours of direct light to maintain its intense flower color. Because it reaches a substantial height of 36 to 48 inches and can spread just as wide, it is perfectly suited as a high-impact thriller in large patio containers. It enjoys rich, well-draining soil and appreciates consistent moisture, though it is quite heat-tolerant once its root system is established. In many regions, it is treated as a vigorous annual, but its rapid growth and nearly constant blooming make it a centerpiece of any summer landscape.
