Deep sapphire blue tubular flowers emerge from solid black calyxes on black stems atop the rich green anise scented foliage. BODACIOUS® Rhythm and Blues Salvia or Anise Sage is a hybrid that was selected and introduced by Salvia guru Kermit Carter and boasts larger more intensely blue flowers atop vigorous full plants with deep green foliage. It has consistently received top marks in trials across the US. The flowers attract hummingbirds as well as larger butterflies. BODACIOUS® Rhythm and Blues Salvia is compact enough for medium-sized containers and is a show stopper in the garden and landscape.
