Cathedral Deep Blue Salvia is an extra compact, long-blooming herbaceous perennial grown as an annual with aromatic green foliage. The spikes of fuzzy buds open to small, two-lipped rich indigo flowers with a white mark that bloom from mid spring until frost. Flowers best in full sun and moist well-drained soils. Drought tolerant. The Cathedral series has an extra long bloom and improved disease resistance.
