Dozens of spikes rise evenly above the foliage. Leaves are lance-shaped, dark green and slightly crinkled, 2 to 3 inches long. The plant is a compact, upright clump 18 to 20 inches tall and wide. At peak it looks like a tight bouquet of blue and white candles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalvia wants the same full sun and lean, well-drained soil as lavender, and its upright spikes echo lavender's form while filling the gap before and after the main lavender bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in average, well-drained soil; it is drought tolerant once established.
