BLACK AND BLUE ANISE SALVIA Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
Salvia is easy to grow and adapts to most conditions. Feed once a year with a slow release fertilizer.

I have used this plant for at least 5 years. I am amazed every time for the way it attracts hummingbirds. Nothing I plant even comes close to the performance of this Salvia and beautiful in addition. Easy to grow. You really should try it.
