May Night Salvia

May Night Salvia is a well-known perennial favored for its dense spikes of deep purple blooms and long flowering period. Starting in late spring and continuing until fall, the flowers rise above neatly mounded green foliage, creating strong vertical lines and attracting bees and butterflies. Reaching 18 inches in height and 24 inches in width, it fits easily into borders, mixed beds, or grouped for mass planting. This variety is valued for its tidy habit, drought tolerance once established, and long-lasting color. Its reliable performance makes it a popular choice for commercial and residential designs in regions like North Texas.
