Salvia jamensis Blast PP 24153 Bosnia In 3 years(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.

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'
