In early summer it carries short spikes of soft blue flowers that are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Thrive it in full sun and well-drained soil—ideally light, sandy or chalky and only moderately fertile. Once established it is tolerant of dry conditions and poor soils, but it dislikes winter wet. A neat, bushy plant reaching around 30–60cm tall and wide, it’s excellent for containers and for edging warm, well-drained spots in Irish gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-container\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"icon-description\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/3028\/8875\/files\/SUN.svg?v=1720021343\" alt=\"Position\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eFull sun\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"icon-description\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/3028\/8875\/files\/GROWTH.svg?v=1720021343\" alt=\"Growth\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eRate of Growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eAverage\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"icon-description\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/3028\/8875\/files\/SOIL.svg?v=1720021343\" alt=\"Soil\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eWell-drained; light sandy or chalky; moderately fertile\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"icon-description\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/3028\/8875\/files\/HARDINESS.svg?v=1720021343\" alt=\"Hardiness\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    \u003cspan\u003eHardy perennial\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"calendar\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApr\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJun\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/3028\/8875\/files\/FLOWER.svg?v=1720021343\" alt=\"Flower\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJul\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/3028\/8875\/files\/FLOWER.svg?v=1720021343\" alt=\"Flower\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAug\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSep\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNov\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"calendar-month\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDec\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"plant-triggers\"\u003e\nlight:sun\u003cbr\u003e\nfacing:south\u003cbr\u003e\nfacing:west\u003cbr\u003e\nsoiltype:light-sandy\u003cbr\u003e\nsoiltype:chalky\u003cbr\u003e\nsoiltype:moderate-fertile\u003cbr\u003e\nsoilmoisture:dry-sandy\u003cbr\u003e\nfoliage:evergreen\u003cbr\u003e\nflowering:june\u003cbr\u003e\nflowering:july\u003cbr\u003e\nflowercolour:blue\u003cbr\u003e\nleafcolour:purple\u003cbr\u003e\nsize:30-60cm\u003cbr\u003e\nwildlife:attractive-to-pollinators\u003cbr\u003e\nwildlife:attractive-to-bees\u003cbr\u003e\ngardenstyle:mediterranean\u003cbr\u003e\ngardenstyle:cottage-garden\u003cbr\u003e\nfragrance:aromatic-foliage\u003cbr\u003e\nspecialconditions:tolerates-drought\u003cbr\u003e\nspecialconditions:dry-sun\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- updated-by-zapier --\u003e","brand":"Tully Nurseries Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57583076442457,"sku":"61418","price":5.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/3028\/8875\/files\/F33E2A58-3DDD-4AF0-A70D-E9D32B627560.jpg?v=1774539563","url":"https:\/\/www.windyridgegardencentre.ie\/products\/salvia-officinalis-purpurea-1","provider":"Windyridge Garden Centre ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
