Bluestone Perennials Salvia New Dimension

Yes, New Dimension Blue is specifically bred for heat and humidity tolerance. It performs exceptionally well in summer conditions, making it a reliable choice for warmer regions within its hardiness zones.

To encourage a second wave of blooms, simply shear the plant back by about a third after the first flush of flowers fades in mid-summer. This quick maintenance step helps the plant reset and push out fresh spikes for the autumn season.

Because of its compact, dwarf habit, this Salvia is an excellent candidate for containers. It stays small enough to fit in pots while still providing a striking display of violet-blue spikes.

You can plant this with confidence, as it is naturally resistant to both deer and rabbits. It is a great option for garden beds that are frequently visited by local wildlife.

This Salvia prefers well-draining soil and thrives in normal or sandy conditions. It is quite drought-tolerant once established, so avoid planting it in areas that stay consistently wet or boggy.

Absolutely. The intense violet-blue spikes are highly attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds, and various beneficial pollinators, making it a functional addition to a pollinator-friendly garden.
