Description

Color your garden purple with vigorous, vivid, violet blooms of Salvia ‘Amistad’, a garden performer that blooms profusely throughout the season from spring through fall.

Amistad Sage is a Salvia guaranitica hybrid with a friendly manner and eager to please. The Friendship Sage is fuller with a longer bloom period that starts earlier, and has a root system that is more restrained than other guaranitica sage types like ‘Black and Blue’ or ‘Argentine Skies’. The deep purple tubular flowers with black calyxes on 8-10 inch flower spikes bloom constantly. Pollinator-friendly, Salvia ‘Amistad’ attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.

Fast growing, Salvia 'Amistad' is an upright, well-branched herbaceous perennial with glossy green leaves. In mild, frost-free climates (USDA zone 10-11), the Friendship Sage is evergreen but will go deciduous if temperatures go below 35?. Winter hardy to 20?.

Low maintenance and easy to grow, this bushy Friendship Sage gets as tall as 5 ft. by 4 ft. wide when in bloom and looks great along walkways, in mixed borders, or mass plantings. Suited to meadow or cottage style landscapes and useful in pollinator-friendly gardens. Order today and make Salvia ‘Amistad’ your BFF (best flower forever).

Plant care

Salvia 'Amistad' is easy to grow. Plant in a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Water deeply and regularly to develop a strong root system. Requires moderate to regular water and perhaps some afternoon shade in hotter inland climates for best performance and appearance.

Pruning may not be required in mild, frost-free climates, but cutting back in early spring when new growth is evident will help maintain the size and a bushy shape. A mid-season prune or dead-heading will promote new growth. Fertilize in early spring after pruning.

Salvia 'Amistad' PP23578 is a patented hybrid sage, asexual reproduction is prohibited. The plant patent expires in 2031.
