Salvia guaranitica 'Argentina Skies' is a Charles Cresson selection of Salvia guaranitica that is dramatically different from the normal species. The tall plant is topped from June (NC) until fall with hundreds of tubular sky-blue flowers (RHS 97A)...not the dark blue that is more typical. This vigorous selection is also somewhat stoloniferous although it doesn't run far. Salvia 'Argentina Skies' is an easy-to-grow addition to the cooler colored sections of the perennial border...a hummingbird favorite.
