PLANT
OF THE MONTH: October 2006
Salvia guarantica "Costa Rica Blue"
If you want to keep the hummingbirds
happy and have the space plant this vigorous perennial that grows
six feet tall and as wide. It has heart shaped leaves and 10-14
inch spikes of nectar rich blooms in a wonderful deep violet
blue that put on a show all summer long. It can be pruned to
keep it tidy and to reduce the size.
