Description
Description
A dazzling addition to the COLOR SPIRES® Perennial Salvia Collection! 'Azure Snow' brings incredible refinement to the intriguing bicolor category of Salvia. 'Azure Snow' produces a refined, compact clump of deep violet-blue and white bicolor flowers with attractive dark green foliage. Flowers are evenly and closely spaced on the stem for a full, polished look.
Salvia is a staple for every sunny garden. It asks little more than sunshine and a little drink every once in a while in return for producing a bountiful mass of colorful flower spires from late spring into early summer.

- Maintenance Notes: Salvia is easy to grow in almost any climate. Though it is drought tolerant, it will bloom better with regular watering. Deadheading encourages a longer bloom time. If plants get leggy during the season, cut them all the way back to the newly developed foliage. If cut back, plants may rebloom in fall but often the flowers are fewer and smaller.
