Salvia farinacea 'Victoria Blue' / Mealy Cup Sage

**Approx 100 seeds **

Hardy to half hardy perennial – often grown as an annual

A lovely first year flowering Salvia, with spikes of blue flowers from July to September/October.  The flowers grow on strong stalks up to 60cm tall, that contrast well with other plants in a border.  These are also good in gravel and Mediterranean gardens.  They attract bees and butterflies into the garden.

Mealy Cup Sage grows best in sun to part shade and a wide range of well-drained soils.  A position in well-drained soil helps these plants survive the winter, as they are on the edge of hardiness.   They grow as perennials in warmer UK gardens.  However, they flower in the first year from seed, so make good annuals.  Salvia takes good cuttings. 

Sow in spring in a tray of seed compost, keep at a constant 20°C and germination takes 1-3 weeks.  Protect plants in a greenhouse or cold frame until ready to plant out after the last frost.  Sowing instructions and a colour photo are printed on the packet.
