Salvia nemorosa

Salvia nemorosa Details

Salvia nemorosa, commonly known as the Nemorosa plant, is an herbaceous perennial grown for its rich display of flowers from summer through autumn. This salvia plant produces long and slender flower spikes with small, violet-purple flowers that are very striking. The flowers sit neatly above the lush, dark green foliage and are great for attracting butterflies and birds. It typically grows to 50 cm tall and the same wide, performing best on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. It is frost hardy once established and does require good levels of moisture during dry periods. Salvia nemorosa is ideal for herb gardens, mixed plantings, cottage gardens, borders, or container growing. A mass planting really suits this plant and gives a very rewarding display.
