Salvia nemorosa ‘Spring King’


Perennial Sage

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.468.680


The Perennial Sages are invaluable for their rich display of spiky flowers in the early summer border. This selection, the earliest flowering perennial sage on the market to date, features large deep purple panicles over a long season. 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
