Deep, rich blue-purple flowers bloom prolifically from early summer straight through the first frosts of November, drawing hummingbirds and bees throughout the season. The plant reaches a tidy 42-48 inches tall and wide, fitting neatly into garden designs without sprawling. Deer leave it alone entirely, and it asks for nothing more than full sun and moderate water once established, rewarding consistent bloomers with months of continuous color.
Amistad Salvia excels in pollinator gardens, perennial borders, and meadow plantings where its long bloom season provides reliable late-season nectar. The tall, airy growth habit allows it to weave through other plantings without overwhelming neighbors, and its deer resistance makes it an asset in landscapes where wildlife pressure is a concern.
