Salvia nemorosa ‘Burgundy Candles’
Perennial Sage |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.468.720
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 selection responds well to summer heat and features flowers that start as burgundy buds maturing to large purple spikes with violet overtones. 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#22754: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
