$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Salvia moorcroftiana x indica produces upright stems topped with lavender flowers marked with fine purple spotting that adds subtle detail to each bloom. The blossoms rise above aromatic, gray-green foliage that forms an open, softly textured framework. In mild climates, the plant maintains its leafy structure year-round, providing continuity between flowering cycles.

In garden settings, this salvia fits well in borders, mixed perennial plantings, and large containers where extended flowering supports warm-season displays. It blends easily with ornamental grasses and sun-loving companions, offering steady color and structure across a wide range of planting styles through summer and early autumn.
