Evolution Salvia Farinacea

Evolution Salvia Farinacea

 Evolution Salvia Farinacea  also known as Mealycup Sage may be one plant to try this season.

Superb weather resistance quality .  Evolution Salvia Farinacea has flowers are richer deeper colored blooms. More compact appearance than other salvia species.

One of the best qualities is that it has a  extra long blooming time,  starting in mid summer into fall . They can even handle a light frost.

You can see why it has won Europe’s Fleuroselect Quality Mark and the U.S.’s All-America Selection All-America Selection, the two top honors for seeds!

Bees love this plant, attracting beneficial insects  is another added bonus..

The bloom stalks reaches 8 to 10 inches on sturdy full grown plants. The plants are loaded with deep violet- purple blooms . The color lasts much longer than those of other varieties.   Very low maintenance .

This plant can handle pretty much any type of weather you throw at it .

Evolution Salvia  is actually a perennial , but overwinters only in frost free areas zone 8-10. People in colder area will need to plant this every year.   Not a big issue as  it will far out do any perennial as it continually blooms through the season..

This plant is native to North America .   Evolution salvia  farinaea pretty much is free from pests and diseases.

What does  Evolution Salvia farinaea love best.

Plant in sunny location, space 8-10 inches as they become quite a nice bushy plant as they mature. It reaches 18 inches high and 14 inches wide in most cases..

Dianes’s Testimonial- This is one plant I must have every season in the garden.  Full color ,  long lasting blooms. You can see from my photos below how beautiful they become, especially in mass plantings.

I start these from seed every March. Then I  transplant in the gardens late May.  One of my all time favorite plants !
