Hardy annual and half-hardy perennial
From a genus including 450 species a small number of Salvias have won
deserved popularity for beds and borders. In summer and early autumn the
long spikes of brilliant flowers produced by Fireball and Scarlet Queen
make an extremely
attractive display, and S. patens is one of the most
superb pure blue flowers seen in gardens. As a bedding plant S.
argentea is extensively grown for its silvery-white foliage, which
completely covers the ground. These and other perennial varieties may be
sown in pans during February and March for transfer to the open in May,
and the plants need the usual treatment of half-hardy perennials.
A favourite annual variety is Blue Beard, growing eighteen inches high
and presenting long spikes of bright purple bracts. The annual Salvias
should also be sown in pans in February or March and transplanted in
May; or seed may be sown in the open border during April.
