Indigo Spires Salvia September 16, 2017

I am being rewarded with a new flush of flowers on my Indigo Spires salvia after cutting them back by half about a month ago.  So pretty, the spikes are about two feet long.  They are loved by the big bumble bees (several varieties buzz around mine).  Those giants of the bee world are always all over my Indigo Spires.  This is one of the tallest varieties of salvia, and, for me, they require staking or they will get pretty floppy.  But they bloom all spring, summer, and fall, so the effort is worth it in my opinion.
