You love our flowering sages, especially the blue ones, so we know you'll flip for this cutie! Soft lavender-blue flowers, and lots of them, cover a compact little plant small enough for pots and front of flowering borders.

Meza Azure tolerates heat and drought, and if you give it a clip over once or twice a year after a big flowering flush, it will bloom all over again.

Description

Salvia 'Mesa Azure' - flowering sage

APPEARANCE : Compact flowering sage with small leaves, deep purple stems, and small soft purple-blue flowers with large lower lips, which appear for most of the year in milder climates. Some sources list this as Salvia microphylla - baby sage; some as Salvia greggii - Mexican sage.
USE FOR : Cottage style gardens, mixed beds and borders, wildlife gardens, pots and tubs.
PLANTING : Plant in a full sun to partly shaded position in the garden, in light free-draining soil. Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks.
CARE : Cut back after flowering, to encourage fresh growth and more flowers. Fertilise in spring using a slow release fertiliser, give an extra boost during the summer heat using eco-seaweed. Tolerant of overnight frost once established. Protect from hard frost and mulch in winter to keep soil warm.
HEIGHT & WIDTH : 0.6m H x 0.5m W depending on conditions.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
