Salvia verticillata 'Purple Rain'

With a habit somewhat unlike the other salvias, 'Purple Rain' forms a sprawling mound of large, fuzzy, silvery-green leaves and stout, fuzzy, arching stems. Spikes lined with purplish buds open to reveal the smoky purple flowers. It blooms well into the summer if deadheaded. Supplied in approx. 1.5 litre containers.
