Living Large® Big Sky Perennial Salvia

(Salvia) Salvia LIVING LARGE® 'Big Sky' is a super-sized perennial salvia that delivers dramatic, late spring- early summer color and nonstop pollinator action in sunny gardens. A dense basal rosette of oversized green leaves anchors sturdy stems topped with vivid violet-blue flower spikes. Blooming later than many perennial salvias, 'Big Sky' extends the color window of mixed borders and pollinator plantings when other early summer blooming salvia are fading.
Maturing around 28–32 inches tall and wide, this variety brings bold height and clean lines that read beautifully in landscape groupings or large containers. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for best performance; once established, it's reliably heat and drought tolerant and needs minimal care. It's also naturally deer and rabbit resistant, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes and cottage-style gardens alike.
Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8, Salvia LIVING LARGE® 'Big Sky' returns year after year with strong vigor. Shear spent spikes after the first flush to encourage a lighter rebloom and keep plants looking tidy. Pair with ornamental grasses, coneflowers, or late-blooming perennials to create dynamic, pollinator-friendly combinations. If you're looking for a tougher, taller salvia that keeps the show going, 'Big Sky' more than earns its name. A Proven Winners® Perennial.
