Salvia ‘Rodbaston Breeze’


Description:

One of eight salvias named by Yoke van der Meer, former Head Gardener at Rodbaston College 1998-2009, which held a National Plant Collection of New World species of Salvia from 2002-2009.

The violet-blue flowers are an indication that it is a likely cross with Salvia lycioides, which has what is considered true, bright blue flowers.
