Salvia nemorosa Lyrical™ Silvertone


Perennial Sage

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.468.650


(='Balyricsil') The Perennial Sages are invaluable perennials for their rich display in the border. Plants form a bushy clump of grey-green leaves, with upright spikes appearing in early summer, attractive to both butterflies and hummingbirds. This outstanding selection from the ‘Lyrical’ Series is the only bicolour S. nemerosa with flowers of deep blue with silver edging. Nice compact habit. Remove faded flowers to encourage repeat blooming, or simply cut back hard after flowering is finished. Plants are reasonably drought tolerant, once established. Excellent for cutting. Clumps may be easily divided in early spring, every 3 to 4 years. USPP#23310: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
