Salvia BODACIOUS ‘Rhythm & Blues’ is a new hybrid that blooms continuously in exotic flowers saturated in cobalt blue and nestled in elegant black calyx on tall stems. Its improved branching presents a more compact, rounded habit that is enhanced by pruning after the first flowering. The dark green foliage of Salvia BODACIOUS ‘Rhythm & Blues’ maintains rich color; it won’t turn yellow, even in summer heat.

Salvia BODACIOUS ‘Rhythm & Blues’, an anise-scented sage, is a tender perennial, hardy in Zones 8 to 11, but is best grown as an annual in colder climates. It’s a hummingbird favorite, so you’ll definitely want to plant in mass, possibly with companion plants, like Salvia BODACIOUS ‘Smokey Jazz’.
