Salvia bluebeard "Light-blue Monarch" (Painted sage, wild clary)
Painted sage "Light-blue Monarch" - Salvia horminum.
An annual, compact plant 70 cm high. Very attractive, thanks to the blue-violet bracts, collected in long (18-30 cm), simple inflorescences. The plant is decorative already a month after sowing. It blooms from mid-June, maintaining its decorative effect until late autumn. It bears fruit abundantly, often self-seeding. Prefers sunny places and soils without excess organic fertilizers.
Sowing is done in March in seedling boxes to a depth of 0.5-0.8 cm. Shoots appear in 7-14 days, after which the seedlings are picked. Seedlings are planted in the ground when the threat of spring frosts has passed (May 25 - June 15). The distance between plants is 30-35 cm.
The variety is interesting for creating landscape compositions, monoculture flower beds and mixborders.
