About the Salvia - East
Friesland :
The Salvia ‘East Friesland’, Salvia nemorosa ‘Ostfriesland’,
has glowing purple stems loaded with violet-purple
flowers that bloom from June to October. With its
blue-green, lance-shaped aromatic foliage, it makes
an attractive accent all summer long. It has a plant
height of 18” and a spread of 18-24” and stays in
excellent compact form. Salvia ‘East Friesland’
should be planted in full sun in a moist
well-drained area.
To increase bloom time, it should be cut back
after the first bloom. ‘East Friesland’ is a magnet
for butterflies, bees and hummingbirds and is
deer-resistant. It is hardy for container gardening
and provides excellent cut flowers. Blooms look
wonderful next to Sedum ‘Matrona’, Achillea
'Coronation Gold' and Saliva ‘Snow Hill’.
