| History | From a breeding program in Elburn, Illinois, focused on developing new Salvia cultivars having distinctive flower color with mounded growth habit. Parentage: a proprietary Salvia x hybrida breeding selection as female parent and one of several proprietary Salvia nemorosa breeding selections as male (pollen) parent. This new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny, found to have bicolored violet-blue and light violet flowers with green and light burgundy colored bracts and medium green colored foliage with a vigorous, mounded habit. U.S. Plant Patent #23,310 was issued in January, 2013. |
| Lore | The genus name Salvia comes from the Latin word salveo meaning to save or heal, in reference to the curative properties attributed to some plants in this genus. The hybrid name of sylvestris comes from Latin meaning of or pertaining to forest or wood. |
