Salvia Arctic Blaze® Purple
Salvia hybrida

This excellent salvia boasts sturdy, compact plants with bright purple blooms. Its flexible branches resist wind damage and attract hummingbirds. Like other salvias, it's easy to grow, heat-tolerant, and drought-resistant once established. Blooming from spring to fall, it's about 24" tall and wide, and more cold-hardy than some other varieties. It's a perennial fit for zones 6-11.
