Salvia 'Harmony'

Salvia 'Harmony’
Botanical Name: Salvia 'Harmony’

Salvia ‘Harmony’ is an evergreen shrub reaching up to 1 meter by 1 meter in size. The foliage is lime to olive green and quite hairy. The large, oval leaves have a pebbly texture, with a visible central vein. The indigo blue flowers are held on long spikes over a long period. The flowers are spaced quite widely on the floral spike and complemented by the grey-blue bracts. The stems change to blue-grey as the spike begins to develop during the flowering period.

The salvia family has over 900 members with an extensive history as culinary, medicinal and ornamental plants. Ornamental salvias have become collectors items, as gardeners try to find a place in their garden for each and every one. There are salvias that will suit every type of soil and climate. More information on the Salvia genus and Common Sage (Salvia officinalis) may be found on our Common Sage page.
