Description
Cathedral Purple salvia brings upright spikes of lavender-purple flowers to sunny garden beds and patio pots. Its compact habit and long-lasting color make it a useful partner for other warm-season flowers, while the blooms attract visiting pollinators.
Growing Cathedral Purple Salvia
Plant in full sun with well-draining soil. Water regularly until established, then avoid keeping the root zone soggy. In Alabama’s humid summers, give plants enough space for air to move around the foliage. Removing faded spikes can help maintain a tidy look and encourage repeat color.
Mature size: About 12–18 inches tall and 12–16 inches wide. Best uses: Borders, mixed containers, and pollinator gardens. Winter survival depends on your location and growing conditions; provide protection during severe cold.
