Salvia 'Allen Chickering' - Cleveland Sage Hybrid

Description

Selected for its vigorous growth, grey-green leaves, and large lavender blue flowers, 'Allen Chickering' quickly reaches 5' tall and wide, often in its first year. A dry, sunny well drained spot is ideal, although it will take clay if there is a slope and it is not overwatered. Excellent plant to attract bees and hummingbirds, also good for erosion control. A hard pruning (at least 1/3) in late summer will produce a nicer looking, longer lived plant.
