PURPLE AND BLOOM PURPLE SAGE -
36 Inches Tall 42 Inches Wide--
Salvia guaranitica 'Purple & Bloom' is an impressive, fast-growing perennial that serves as a more compact and manageable alternative to the classic 'Black & Blue'. Reaching a mature height of approximately 36 inches with an upright, bushy habit, it is prized for its oversized, tubular flowers of a deep, royal purple. These blooms are set against dark, near-black calyxes and stems, creating a dramatic color contrast that pops against its large, bright green, heart-shaped foliage. This cultivar is a powerhouse for attracting pollinators, specifically designed to draw in hummingbirds and butterflies from late spring until the first frost of autumn.
To keep Salvia 'Purple & Bloom' thriving, it should be planted in a location that receives full sun, though it can benefit from light afternoon shade in particularly hot regions. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and, while somewhat drought-tolerant once established, it performs best with consistent watering throughout the heat of the summer. Salvia 'Purple & Bloom' is hardy in USDA Zones 8 to 11, meaning in Ohio, it is typically treated as a vigorous annual or a "thriller" for large patio containers. To maintain its tidy shape and encourage a continuous display of flowers, you can deadhead spent blooms or pinch back the stems occasionally during the growing season to promote branching.
