| Salvia macrophylla
‘Upright Form’

Big, honking leaves on this grand & stately Salvia provide
a very tropical effect. Lovely mid-blue flowers with showy
lime green calyxes appear above the leaves throughout the
growing season, & are reason enough to grow the plant
all on their own. To 5’ tall, this form doesn’t
have the tendency to spread & wander like the species,
& as such would make a large & luxurious accent to
any partly shaded corner, & a wonderful backdrop for smaller
plants. This Salvia is sensitive to frost, but can be easily
propagated from cuttings and often comes back from the roots
when damaged. From Peru!
