Salvia Black and Blue is famous for its striking cobalt-blue flowers with near-black calyxes, and it's one of the most reliable hummingbird magnets you can plant.
Sun and Soil Needs
This salvia thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, though it tolerates a bit of light shade, especially in the hottest part of the day.
Watering and Maintenance
Once established, Black and Blue salvia is fairly drought-tolerant. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering throughout the warm season.
Attracting Hummingbirds and Pollinators
The tubular blue flowers are perfectly shaped for hummingbird feeding and also draw in bees and butterflies, making this salvia a great addition to any pollinator garden.
Winter Care
In cooler areas, Black and Blue salvia may die back to the ground in winter but typically returns reliably from the roots come spring.
