Mealy Cup Sage ‘Blue Victory’
Botanical Name: Salvia farinacea
Type: Tender Perennial (usually grown as an annual)

Mealy Cup Sage ‘Blue Victory’ brings intense, true-blue flower spikes that rise above compact, bushy plants, adding vertical interest and vibrant colour to borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. Flowering non-stop from summer to frost, this heat-tolerant salvia thrives in full sun and is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The silver-dusted stems and velvety blue blooms create a stunning contrast, making ‘Blue Victory’ a standout in both formal and wildflower-style plantings.
