Salvia - Oxford Blue

Beautiful, deep-blue, almost purple bracts top these easy to grow annuals.  Small, inconspicuous purple-white flowers appear first and attract all kinds of pollinators but the reward is the long lasting bracts that appear next. Their deep colour is beautiful  in the vase or dried for use in everlasting arrangements. Flowers are edible. Sturdy plants top out at 75-100cm and work well next to paths or planted in drifts mid garden. Also know as clary sage.
