Perennial sages are invaluable in ornamental borders for their display of spiky flowers from summer through to autumn.

Salvia ‘Indigo Spires’ is a vigorous variety bearing intense, indigo-coloured blooms with even darker calyces and flowering stems. It’s extremely popular with bees and makes an excellent cut flower.

For best results grow Salvia ‘Indigo Spires’ in a sunny, sheltered spot in well-drained soil. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage flowers into mid-autumn. Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or garden compost. Plants may need protection in the harshest winters. Cut it back in spring after the risk of frosts has passed.
