Comments (10)First year blooms, but this picture was taken second year and so the salvias bloomed in May - I think I remember waiting (impatiently) for the Salvias to bloom the first year but they finally did - maybe more towards end June (?) (I can't remember). But the second year, they bloomed in May ( picture was from the second year). I don't know how well they survive LI - but here they came back, even when we had teens over the winter. As a matter of fact, they were green all winter. I am a former New Yorker and I think they will be fine - maybe protect a bit if it really gets cold. Good luck (PS Verbenas also bloom first year - and come back also - actually green all winter) Carrie...See MoreAnyone grown Blue Sage 'Salvia Farinacea' ?
Comments (7)I grow it. It winters over just fine. Dies back to the ground, but then emerges in spring. It also reseeds, but is not invasive in its reseeding. Mine looks best later in the summer than it does in spring. In spring, it is rather pale blue. By midsummer it is taller, stronger and the bloom stalks are longer and a deeper blue. It has a grape-like fragrance like grape bubble gum. Mine grows much taller and wider than the descriptions about it state. I love it. ~Annie...See MoreHAVE: Salvia farinacea
Comments (0)I collected many seeds from my Salvia Farinacea. These are annuals that bloom from spring until frost. I have both Blue and White varieties. I would like to trade for other salvia varieties (colors)that can take the heat and my Kansas wind. I have other seeds to trade that are pretty common but happy to share if anyone wants them....See Moreduane456
