Cait's Garden

I can’t resist a new kind of salvia, so when I saw this beauty a couple years back, I snapped it up. Which is fortunate, as I’ve never seen it in the store again! (The fact that it shares the name of a Prince song is just a bonus that makes me laugh.) This plant is just as hardy as any salvia, but has unique “pom-pom” flower formations and rounder, curlier leaves than traditional salvia. Perhaps its rock star name refers to its looser, more free-flowing growing style. There is nothing rigid and upright about Purple Rain! This plant is just fun to own.
