Salvia Big Blue Turkey From high elevations in Thailand

From high elevations in Thailand comes the little-known species

The growth habit of Helleborus foetidus is quite different from the Lenten Rose

The unspotted flesh colored petioles that support the leaves top out at 18" tall when mature and the snow cone-like flowers are held atop 18" flower stalks in spring

and are adorned in September and October with abundant and attractive fruit clusters (2-4 fruits each) that emerge green and age to purple black

Salvia Big Blue Turkey From high elevations in Thailand(aka: Salvia PAS1246577) Salvia 'Big Blue' is a Ball Pan Am Seed introduction of a cross of Salvia longispicata x Salvia farinacea. Although the cross is the same that produced the 1979 introduction, Salvia 'Indigo Spires', this is a dramatic improvement, almost certainly a ploidy (doubled chromosome) shift. For us, it produces a 4' tall x 3' wide, tight clump that includes the dramatic 1' tall floral spikes of dark bluish purple from early June (NC)
