Salvia nemerosa 'May Night'
Salvia nemerosa 'May Night' is a popular herbaceous perennial known for its striking deep purple-blue flowers that bloom abundantly from late spring to early summer. Belonging to the mint family (Lamiaceae), this cultivar forms dense clumps of aromatic, lance-shaped green foliage that provide a beautiful backdrop for the vibrant blooms. 'May Night' is a relatively compact plant, reaching heights of around 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) and spreading to about 12-18 inches (30-45 cm). It thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, making it a versatile addition to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial beds. This low-maintenance perennial is also drought-tolerant once established and attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies to the garden.
