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).
How big does Friendship Sage grow?
It typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, forming a full, rounded shrub with lush green leaves and tall, arching flower spikes.
When does it bloom and what do the flowers look like?
It blooms nearly year-round in warm climates, with rich purple-black flower spikes that attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and pollinators nonstop.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
Full sun is best for abundant flowering, though it tolerates light shade. It prefers well-drained soil and does best in moderately fertile ground — not too rich, not too soggy.
Does it need pruning or special care?
Prune lightly after major bloom flushes to shape and encourage continuous growth. Cut it back to about one-third in late winter or early spring to refresh the plant.
