Salvia x sylvestris 'May Night'
Sage
A very popular perennial, salvia 'May Night' is compact and produces beautiful flowers through much of the growing season. From summer to fall, flower spikes of bright violet-blue appear over the slightly aromatic, upright bushy plants of meadow sage. These flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Bloom time is extended if spent spikes are trimmed promptly. Makes a very good cut flower.
