Description
La Salvia nemorosa 'Salvatore Blue' est une sauge des bois vivace qui fleurit l'année du semis. Ses fins épis floraux, d'un bleu-violet profond, mellifères, s'épanouissent durant tout l'été au jardin. Très rustique, peu exigeante, elle s'établit rapidement, et donne beaucoup de charme aux bordures champêtres. Elle prospère au soleil ou à mi-ombre, dans tout sol correctement drainé.
Le Salvia nemorosa est une espèce botanique de la famille des Lamiacées, comme toutes les sauges. C'est une plante herbacée pérenne originaire d'Asie occidentale et d'Europe centrale. 'Salvatore Blue' est un cultivar développé par PanAmerican Seed. Cette sélection offre une alternative de qualité aux sauges des bois : ses épis floraux sont plus grands, d'un bleu violacé très foncé, sur des tiges noires. Elle présente également une floraison plus précoce que celle des variétés habituelles. La plante présente une croissance vigoureuse, elle forme rapidement une touffe compacte et buissonnante atteignant 25 à 30 cm de hauteur et 15 à 20 cm de largeur. Les feuilles sont vert foncé, ovales à lancéolées, mesurent environ 5 cm de long et elles sont de texture légèrement rugueuse. La floraison, s'étendant de mai-juin jusqu'à l'été. Elle prend la forme de petites fleurs tubulaires de 1 cm, regroupées en épis denses de 10 à 15 cm, enchâssées dans des bractées pourpres. Ces fleurs, dépourvues de parfum, attirent les abeilles et les papillons.
Plantez la sauge 'Salvatore Blue' dans une terre de jardin bien préparée et allégée, même calcaire et un peu sèche en été. Cette variété est superbe en compagnie de plantes à fleurs jaune pâle comme l’Anthemis tinctoria ‘Wargrave Variety’ pour un contraste fort, ou avec l'Achillea ageratifolia au feuillage gris. Associez-la aussi à d'autres sauges comme les sauges officinales et au Lychnis coronaria.
Avec plus de 900 espèces d'annuelles, de vivaces et d'arbustes à bois tendre, distribuées partout à travers le globe, hormis les régions très froides et la forêt tropicale, le genre Salvia est le plus riche de la famille des lamiacées.

Planting and care
Sow Salvia 'Salvatore Blue' from February to May.
If you cannot provide your sowing with a temperature of at least 15°C, wait until March. Germination can be slow if the temperature is not high enough. A range of 18 to 24°C appears ideal. Sow indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frosts. Do not cover the seeds, as light is necessary for germination.
Transplant the young plants if necessary. For best results, choose a larger pot, increasing the size according to the plant's growth. Move the young plants outdoors in late May or early June. Acclimatise them gradually to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days before transplanting to their final position. Space them 15 to 30 cm apart. Pinch the tip of the main shoot when the plants reach 15 cm in height to encourage bushy growth.
Cultivation:
Grow Salvia 'Salvatore Blue' in ordinary soil, even rather chalky soil, but above all well-draining. This plant tolerates some drought once well established. It does not appreciate very clayey, sticky soils that are waterlogged in winter, which can harm its hardiness. Plant it in a sunny position or, at a push, in partial shade in hot climates. It is an easy, very floriferous plant. To preserve the sage's vitality, it is good to divide the plant after 3 or 4 years. Plant it in well-worked and lightened soil: to improve soil that is a bit too poor, mix in some horticultural compost.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
