Perennial sages are worth their weight in gold in ornamental borders, thanks to their summer-long displays of spiky, nectar-rich flowers.

Salvia x jamensis ‘Blue Armor’ is a shrubby perennial with fresh green, aromatic foliage. From May until the first frosts it’s awash with stunning cornflower-blue blooms. ‘Blue Armor’ can be planted in containers. Alternatively, plant next to benches and paths where you can brush past the aromatic foliage and enjoy its pretty blooms. The flowers are extremely attractive to bees and other pollinators.

For best results grow Salvia x jamensis ‘Blue Armor’ in well-drained soil in full sun. Plants may need protection in extreme winters. Cut it back hard in spring, once the risk of hard frosts has passed, to make way for new foliage.
