The eyecatching new 'Evolution' Salvia is the first Salvia farinacea with lilac-color flower spikes, expanding the color choices for "blue" annuals. The plant grows to 20 inches tall and 16 inches wide with 7-inch-long flower spikes and provides continuous color throughout the season. It does well in containers and the flower spikes can be cut and dried to use as everlastings. It blooms from seed in 100 days and is perennial in frost-free climates.
