SALVIA Sensation Compact Dark Blue improved

A compact, clump-forming perennial salvia with aromatic green foliage and dense spikes of dark blue flowers through summer. Best in full sun and moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil, it’s ideal for the front of sunny borders or containers, where regular deadheading encourages a long display. Fully hardy in Irish gardens, it’s easy to grow and valued for reliably attracting pollinators to the garden.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
