Salvia farinacea 'Indigo Spires'

From 070724_garden

Salvia farinacea 'Indigo Spires' is one of my favorite perennials. This year it has grown back bigger and better than ever. If you have the space, give this steady-bloomer a try. It attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, and it requires little to no care aside from occasional deadheading or pruning back, though neither is totally necessary.

Here are some good resources for learning more about this spectacular specimen:
