Blue Anise Sage, Brazilian Sage 'Black and Blue'
(Salvia guaranitica)
The deep blue flowers with almost black sepals are outstanding on this plant!
Plant is currently growing in a 5 inch pot (removed for shipping) and is approximately 14 to 16 inches tall and about 13 inches around. Plant up for bid is similar in size to this one: 
The Salvia Black and Blue, 'Salvia guaranitica', is a tall and attractive plant that has an upright growth habit which reaches 2 to 3 feet or more in height. The bi-colored blooms are 3/4 of an inch in size and occur in both spring and the fall. This selection of the hardy anise sage differs from the norm in that the calyx (the little cup that holds the open flower) is black instead of the usual green. It enjoys warm tempatures and is moderately drought tolerant.
The dark, denim blue flowers with black bases appear to be made by a flower designer because of its striking beauty. The Black and Blue Salvia mixes well with other beautiful summer flowering perennials. This eye catching Salvia offers abundant deep blue cobalt blue tubular blooms that are an absolute favorite of hummingbirds.They are hardy to 15 degrees.
Prune the plants often to keep them more compact. Well-drained soil is necessary, especially during our wet winter season.

HOW YOUR PLANTS ARE SHIPPED/WHAT TO EXPECT: Plants don't love shipping very much and can look a bit bedraggled when they arrive to their new home. The newspaper and snug quarters may cause some minor damage to foliage. Some types of plants will even drop leaves in protest. This is not cause for alarm. Please remove your plant promptly from the box and give fresh water. Don't allow it to sit in water. Reacclimate to the light only gradually. If this is a plant you are unfamiliar with, it helps to do online research or find a book on its care. Ortho has an excellent book on houseplants and even provides information on care and receiving plants through the mail.
