{"product_id":"salvia-black-and-blue","title":"Salvia 'Black and Blue'","description":"\u003cp\u003eSalvia Black and Blue is all about the flowers, with deep blue blooms emerging from dark, almost black calyces along the upright stems. They stand out particularly well against the fresh green foliage, and the contrast gives this Anise-Scented Sage a distinctive look without needing much else around it. It also has a pleasant anise-like fragrance, adding another reason to grow it where the plant can be enjoyed up close. This eye-catching variety flowers for a long period through summer, with the tubular blooms proving popular with bees and other pollinating insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sunny border with free-draining soil gives Anise-Scented Sage the conditions it needs to get on with growing, and once established it needs relatively little attention. Keep it watered during prolonged dry spells and remove spent flower stems to encourage further blooms as the season goes on. It can also be grown in a container, where the upright stems and unusual colouring make it an easy plant to pick out among the rest of the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only.
