Beautiful variety!
This is the best variety of salvia I have so far discovered. (Granted, this is coming from a 20-something year old with moderate gardening experience.) It has a greater blue color than other popular varieties like May Night. US Perennials plants tend to be pretty small, but not a big deal to me since I pay a good price and they typically arrive very healthy. This salvia was no exception to that rule. As small as it was, I put them in the ground and all 9 have taken off! Not a single one has died. I was expecting to not see blooms until next year, but boy was I wrong! Lots of flower spikes quickly emerged, and every time I look out my window they are COVERED in butterflies, bees, and the occasional hummingbird. I wish it was a variety I could find elsewhere when USP is out of stock, but alas, i cannot find it anywhere else. I want these in every flower bed!

Salvia Nemorosa 'Blue By You'
I ordered these knowing they might suffer during the long trip from Indiana to Georgia in the heat of summer. They perked up immediately and have settled in very nicely in my garden. I found this company by accident and am very pleased with the plants and customer service. I highly recommend them!
