Award winning temperennial salvia (check your hardiness zone!) with large deep purple blooms emerging from eye catching black calyces. Blooms continuously from early summer through fall on a relatively compact and well-branched plant. Although the exact parentage is unknown it is thought to be a hybrid of S. gesnerifolia and S. guarantica.
