Salvia Mysty

Common Name:
Mysty Salvia

Description:
Mysty Salvia (Salvia x 'Balsalmysty') is a compact, free-flowering perennial renowned for its vibrant true blue flower spikes that rise above lush, dark green foliage. Blooming profusely from late spring through to autumn, this variety adds a striking splash of colour to garden beds, borders, and containers. Its naturally compact and well-branched habit makes it an excellent choice for smaller garden spaces or as a filler in mixed plantings. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, Mysty Salvia is heat and drought-tolerant, making it well-suited to Melbourne's climate. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming, ensuring a lively garden presence throughout the warmer months.
