Salvia azurea Little Boy Blue Paris Like spokes on a wheelWe are thrilled to share another excellent introduction from Texas plantsman, Greg Grant, of a Texas selection of the widespread US native Salvia azurea. Salvia 'Little Boy Blue' forms an upright 4' tall clump of heavily branched stalks topped, starting for us in mid August, with terminal floral clusters, each bearing dozens of pure azure blue flowers. Salvia azurea 'Little Boy Blue' stands up better than any other form of Salvia azurea we've grown.
