Salvia jamensis Blast PP 24153 Bosnia The jack-in-the-pulpit-like spathe is dark(aka: Salvia Eggben002) Salvia 'Blast' is an incredible selection from the Heatwave series of Salvia x jamensis (greggii x microphylla) hybrids, created by New Zealand's Steven Eggleton. The clumps begin to flower in spring with masses of hundreds of peachy salmon flowers. Flowering becomes more sporadic in summer, but picks up dramatically as temperatures cool, resulting in a spectacular fall show. Our 4 year old clumps have matured at 4' tall x 7'
