Salvia ‘Phyllis Fancy’  

Salvia ‘Phyllis Fancy’

Big, bold & beautiful, Salvia ‘Phyllis Fancy’ was first discovered at the UC-Santa Cruz Arboretum & named for Phyllis Norris. Thought to be a hybrid of S. leucantha & maybe S. chiapensis, she’s a vigorous grower. Blooms begin in Fall & keep going until the first frost, making it a choice plant for late season color. Stunning, 1’ long, wand like flower spikes are covered with fuzzy, soft lavender white flowers, sheathed in inky blue bracts that bees, butterflies & hummingbirds can’t resist. Soil wise it’s not fussy, as long as drainage is good. Prune back to 2’ after flowering, to shape & control size. To 4’ x 4’
