Vivid Purple Spikes -- Early-Blooming, Compact, and Colorful!
Blooms begin just 6 to 8 weeks after sowing!
A Park Exclusive! With its early, profuse, and brilliant blooms on compact plants, Hotline has been the Salvia of choice for many gardeners since its introduction. These dense, very bright blooms of vivid violet seem to float atop stocky, heavy 5- to 6-inch flower spikes. Blooms begin when the plant is just 6 inches tall--less than 2 months from sowing!--and keep coming over an exceptionally long season. The plants reach 10 to 12 inches tall and wide, with large, lush forest-green foliage fanning out below the bloomstalk like a carpet. Very uniform between colors, the Hotline series has earned our High Performer citation for superior garden-worthiness--both for its beauty and for its easy, vigorous growth! And the seed is available only here at Park! Hummingbirds love these ground-hugging plants, which bear fresh blooms and foliage all the way till frost. They are unrivalled for mass display in the border or bed, and combine nicely with other annuals as well as with other Hotline colors. Violet looks superb with signature Hotline Red, for example, as well as with Blue Streak and Burgundy! And if you just can't decide, there's always the mix of all 9 colors! Their compact size and neat habit make Hotlines a good neighbor both to large-bloomed and taller, more vertical sources of color. And extreme tolerance of heat and drought means that you can neglect this Salvia a bit without losing a bloom! Salvia Hotline Violet is a snap to grow - just sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before last frost in the spring.Not fussy about soil, it flourishes in blazing sun to dappled shade, tolerating heat, drought, and other vagaries of the weather. In the coastal West and milder climates of the South it can be grown as a perennial. Pkt is 50 seeds.
