If you are looking for best-of-the-best flowering perennial plants that will draw in hummingbirds, Black & Bloom Salvia is a must-have plant for your hummingbird garden! A hardy perennial in USDA Zones 8a-10b, Black & Bloom reportedly produces slightly larger flowers than other Salvia guaranitica varieties. The bloom starts in spring, and flowers come continuously through fall. In zones north of 8a, you can grow it as an annual in garden beds or containers that can be overwintered indoors and moved back outside when temperatures warm in spring, and all chances of frost have passed. Perfectly designed for hummingbirds, the tubular, deep cobalt-blue flowers, which look like an opened pelican beak, are abundant on clustered spikes from late spring through early winter. This selection of the hardy salvia differs from the norm in that the calyx (the little cup that holds the open flower) is black instead of the usual green. Handsome, thick, quilted, dark-green leaves showcase the flowers. Excellent in garden beds or pots, planters, and other containers, perfect for situating on or around sunny to partially shaded patios and other outdoor living spaces. Get all the details below
