Vista Lavender Salvia
Vista Lavender Salvia | Lavender Bedding Sage | Scarlet Sage | Salvia splendens 'Vista Lavender'
Vista Lavender Salvia is a compact, heat-loving annual that brings a unique, soft purple hue to the typically fiery palette of bedding sages. Unlike the standard red varieties, this selection produces dense, upright spikes of lilac-lavender blooms that contrast beautifully against its dark green, heart-shaped foliage. Known for its uniform habit and excellent garden performance, it thrives in hot, sunny borders and makes a sophisticated "filler" for patio containers and window boxes.
Growing Vista Lavender Salvia
- Light: Thrives in full sun; appreciates some afternoon shade in regions with scorching summers.
- Soil: Rich, fertile, and well-draining soil; adaptable to average garden conditions.
- Water: Requires consistent moisture to establish; drought-tolerant once mature but performs best with regular watering during dry spells.
- Maintenance: Deadhead (remove) spent flower spikes to encourage a continuous display of fresh blooms from late spring until frost.
- Wildlife: A magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees; generally, deer resistant.
- Hardiness: USDA Zones 10–11; grown as a vigorous warm-season annual in cooler climates.
Shipping Info
Vista Lavender Salvia plants are shipped in 4" nursery pots. The plants can be re-potted after they recover from shipping stress approximately 1 to 2 weeks.
