Growing Black and Bloom Sage
Salvias need close to full sun, and will grow near the coast in exposed locations, however, this variety's long flower stalks look better in a sheltered site. They're fully hardy, although their flowering season will be shortened somewhat in cold and windy places. They're happy on chalk, and like a light, well-drained but moist soil enriched with humus that doesn't remain wet in winter, so heavy clay isn't good. They're perfect for a Mediterranean or gravel garden, and are great in large containers. Established plants are drought resistant, but still want fairly consistent moisture in dry summer periods to flower really well.

Deadhead promptly to get the most from the flowering season. Leave the withered foliage on the plants overwinter for protection, and trim them after the last spring frost, right down to new growth.
Mulch lightly every year or two, ideally after a heavy spring rain when the soil has warmed up. Salvias don't need much fertility, so a little help goes a long way.
Garden Design Ideas
Would work in any traditional border but would look particularly ravishing in a blue and pink herbaceous scheme. Plant alongside Aster Anita Webb and or Aster Harringtonbs Pink and Dahlias Wine Eyed Jill and the Wizard of Oz.
History & Trivia
Registration code is Balsaloom. The wild species is known as anise sage.
