Painted Sage, organic

Eco

Information

Beautiful annual salvia with purple and pink tops. It grows 30–50 cm high and blooms from July until the first frost. Actually, it is the top leaves of the plant that give the purple and pink color. The flower itself sits further down the stem and is quite modest. 

Broksalvia grows straight up and the plants can therefore stand quite close to each other. If you top it, the growth becomes more bushy.

Pre-cultivated shallow (light-growing) indoors in the spring and plant out after the last frost, or sow directly in the ground. It likes to reseed itself. 

Broxalvia is used both as a cut flower and as a dried flower.

One portion contains approx. 200 seeds.
