see what’s new at your local gardening outlet Salvia farinacea ‘So Blue’ is a semi-perennial dwarf plant that is covered in spikes of intense clear blue flowers. ‘So Blue’ is a sterile hybrid selected because it flowers all through the year with peaks in summer and autumn in most temperate areas. It does best in the warmer months of the year in southern gardens but flourishes year long in the subtropics. Plant in full sun through to lightly dappled shade position for best results. Perfectly suitable to gardens which grow Geraniums and Chrysanthemums and for patio potted colour as they are clean plants holding the flower heads well for a long time.

This is an easy care plant once established needing little supplementary watering except in dry times. Most soils are suitable, well worked up and with compost incorporated. Trim for shape and size as needed for better flowering.
This variety flowers earlier than other verbenas varieties. The Verbena ‘Cadet’ series forms upright, uniform masses of flowers from early spring. This variety has strong disease resistance to powdery mildew. Will flower from spring right through to autumn, withstanding the high heat of summer. Plant in nutrient rich and well draining soil. For pot plant displays, plant in Searles Platinum Potting Mix and Searles Premium Garden Soil Mix for the garden. Liquid feed fortnightly for continuous flowering and plant health for 9 months of the year.
