Indiglo Girl Salvia — Color Spires® 'Indiglo Girl' (Compact Perennial Sage)

Indiglo Girl Salvia (Salvia 'Indiglo Girl' — Color Spires®) is one of the most vivid and refined of the Color Spires® perennial sage series — a compact, upright herbaceous perennial with aromatic medium-green foliage and an exceptional profusion of slender spikes densely packed with tiny two-lipped rich indigo flowers that bloom on dramatically dark stems from late spring to early summer, creating a bold, jewel-toned vertical display that bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies find irresistible. Deadheading spent flower spikes prolongs the bloom season into fall, extending the ornamental value well beyond the initial flush. The compact, naturally upright habit (1.5–2 feet) makes Indiglo Girl ideal for border fronts, pollinator gardens, and mixed containers where a low-growing, free-flowering perennial is needed. Aromatic foliage provides additional sensory interest throughout the season. Drought-tolerant once established in full sun with moist, well-drained soils. Hardy to Zone 9.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Drought-tolerant once established. Deadhead to extend bloom into fall. Watch for scale, whitefly, powdery mildew, and leaf spot.
LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Naturalized Areas, Wildlife Gardens, Rock Gardens, and Containers.
