Salvia
guaranitica 'argentine skies' |
This salvia is a weaker growing plant than the other
S. guaranitica cultivars that I have grown. It is the flower color makes Salvia
guaranitica 'argentine skies' worth all of the trouble though. It is
a beautiful sky blue and commonly in bloom. Salvia Argentine Skies spreads slowly by underground
runners. The plant gets 2.5 to 3 feet tall. Salvia
guaranitica 'Argentine Skies' is
susceptible to frost and
will die back to the ground in the mid 20's. The plants were burnt to
the ground by frost and came back with great vigor in the early spring. I was ecstatic.
Now I cut them back to the ground in warmer climes as well. Salvia
Argentine Skies responds
well and the bugs and disease problems are significantly reduced.
