Facultative Long Day Salvatore Blue is a facultative long day plant, but it is much less daylength sensitive than Salvia New Dimension, and is able to flower under 10-hour short day conditions. Because of the 10-hr. critical daylength, Salvatore Blue can be grown for annual programs, but also for long-cycle production through the Winter for Spring sales. Salvatore can finish in the southern U.S. for April sales if critical daylength at transplant is a minimum of 10 hrs., comparative to vegetative choices for early Spring.
