Add crisp, bicolor color to your border with Salvia × 'Color Spires® Azure Snow'. This compact, clump-forming perennial produces upright flower spikes with violet-blue hoods and clean white lips for a cool, refined look from late spring into early summer. The deep green foliage is aromatic and stays neat, making it easy to tuck into mixed beds, pollinator plantings, and container combinations.

Give your salvia a spot in full sun for the most flowers, though it will also perform in part shade, especially where summers are hot. Plant in average, well-drained soil and water regularly during establishment. Once rooted in, it prefers soil that dries slightly between waterings rather than staying constantly wet. Good air flow helps keep the plant looking its best through the season.

For longer bloom and a tidier habit, remove spent flower spikes and lightly shear after the main flush. You can also cut back stems by about one-third after flowering to encourage fresh growth and a repeat show. In late winter or early spring, trim back old stems before new growth starts.

At maturity, expect a rounded mound around 18-20 inches tall with a similar spread. Use it as a front-to-mid border accent, weave it through perennials and ornamental grasses, or repeat it along a path for a consistent ribbon of blue-and-white color. Flowers are a favorite stop for many garden pollinators, adding motion and life to your planting.
