Salvia guaranitica 'Van Remsen' (Van Remsen Anise Sage)

SunZone: 7-10, at least 84" tall Origin: Argentina, Brazil

This amazing hummingbird favorite makes a stunning 7' tall clump that doesn't run. That's right, great height and no running...ranks up there with "tastes great and less filling." The rich green leaves adorn this amazing giant that rockets skyward when grown in rich soil. The green stems are clothed in large 6'' long x 5" wide dark green leaves, then topped, starting in late May, with spikes of cobalt-blue flowers...a stunning garden specimen and favorite of high-flying hummingbirds. S. 'Van Remsen', a probable hybrid of S. guaranitica 'Brazil' x S. guaranitica 'Costa Rica', was discovered in James Van Remsen's Louisiana garden and later named and distributed by salvia guru, Rich Dufresne. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
