Victoria Blue – Certified Organic

A Pollinator’s Paradise

Salvia Victoria Blue is a stunning ornamental variety that brings a burst of deep blue color to any garden. This low-maintenance annual, which can also thrive as a tender perennial in zones 8-10, begins its impressive bloom in early summer and continues to flower until the first frost. Known for its uniform growth and striking flower spikes, Victoria Blue has become a favorite among gardeners for its ability to attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

The main appeal of Victoria Blue Salvia lies in its versatility and visual impact. Its rich blue flower spikes create a dramatic vertical accent in borders, containers, and mass plantings. This variety not only adds a pop of color to your landscape but also serves as a vital nectar source for pollinators, supporting local ecosystems. The plant’s compact habit, reaching 18-24 inches in height, makes it perfect for both small gardens and larger landscapes.

Victoria Blue Salvia exhibits average growth rates and adapts well to various garden conditions. It thrives in full sun to part shade, making it suitable for different garden locations. The plant’s drought tolerance, once established, contributes to its low-maintenance nature. For best results, plant Victoria Blue in well-draining soil and space plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.

Growing Success Tips:

  • Water regularly during the establishment period, then reduce frequency
  • Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season
  • Protect from harsh winds to maintain the plant’s upright form

Victoria Blue Salvia offers an excellent return on investment for gardeners, providing months of vibrant color and wildlife activity with minimal care requirements. For an extra burst of color, consider companion planting with yellow or orange marigolds to create a striking contrast.
