Unplugged® So Blue™ salvia | Proven Winners®

True blue flower spikes rising above silvery green foliage.

Unplugged® So Blue™ is a salvia that blooms from spring through frost, producing continuous upright spikes that add height, clarity, and cool-toned contrast to containers and garden beds.

What You'll Use It For

A cool-toned thriller that brings clarity and balance.

• Using as a thriller in containers for vertical structure
• Adding true blue tones to balance warmer color palettes
• Attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to the garden
• Pairing with whites, yellows, and pinks for high contrast
• Mass planting for a clean, cooling field of color

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

True blue is hard to find—and this one delivers. The clean blue spikes cut through warmer plantings, giving you contrast without adding visual noise.

It blooms nonstop without deadheading, handles heat and drought once established, and keeps a strong upright form without flopping. As part of the Unplugged® series, it's bred for consistent performance, compact growth, and long-season flowering, making it a reliable anchor in both containers and landscapes.
