Salvia plant named ‘Shell Dancer’

Abstract

A new and distinct Salvia plant is provided resulting from a controlled cross between an unnamed Salvia microphylla plant and a Salvia×jamensis ‘Sierra San Antonio’ plant. Seedlings were produced and the new cultivar resulted from the selective study of the resulting progeny. Multi-toned blossoms of good substance are prolifically formed over an extended period of time. The growth habit is bushy, and attractive large bright leaves are displayed. The plant also exhibits a propensity to vigorously regrow following pruning and is well suited to provide attractive ornamentation.
