Salvia nemorosa Sensation® Deep Blue


Perennial Sage

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.468.590


(=‘Forsaldblue’) The Perennial Sages are invaluable for their rich display of spiky flowers in the early summer border. This selection is a compact dwarf and features dark blue flower spikes all summer. Long and profuse bloomer. Remove faded blooms to encourage repeat flowering. Excellent for cutting. Drought tolerant once established. Can be clipped back hard after blooming, to rejuvenate the foliage. Attractive to both butterflies and hummingbirds. Ideal for the border edge or in containers.
