Salvia 'Sirius Blue' — compact, long-blooming sage with vivid sky-blue flowers and aromatic grey-green foliage. Ideal for Australian gardens, it forms tidy mounds (about 40–60 cm high) that attract bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds. Flowers appear on upright spikes from spring through autumn in most climates; in mild regions flowering can be nearly continuous.
Growing tips
Position: Full sun for best colour and flowering; tolerates light afternoon shade in hotter inland areas.
Soil: Well-drained soil; tolerates poor soils but avoid waterlogged sites.
Water: Moderate water; drought-tolerant once established. Reduce watering in winter.
Care: Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Light pruning after major flushes keeps plants compact. In cooler southern regions, protect from heavy frost or grow in containers that can be moved.
Pests/diseases: Generally trouble-free; watch for soft scale or root rot in poorly drained soils.
Uses
Borders, mixed perennial beds, cottage-style plantings, and pollinator gardens.
Excellent for massing or edging and for containers on patios and balconies.
Origin and notes Salvia 'Sirius Blue' is an open, garden-worthy selection prized for its clean, intense blue tone and reliable performance across a range of Australian conditions. Plant in spring or autumn for best establishment.
