About the Salvia -
Marcus :
The Salvia ‘Marcus’, Salvia nemorosa, is a new
dwarf version of the Salvia ‘May Night’. With its
compact, dense habit of growing, it is easy to
accommodate in any perennial garden. Spikes of
intense violet-blue flowers bloom on top gray-green
foliage and flower from June to October. ‘Marcus’
has a plant height of 12” and a spread of 12-18”.
Salvia ‘Marcus’ 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. ‘Marcus’
is a magnet for butterflies, bees and hummingbirds
and is deer-resistant. It is hardy for container
gardening, as a border plant and provides excellent
cut flowers. Blooms look wonderful next to Sedum ‘Matrona’,
Achillea 'Coronation Gold' and Saliva ‘Snow Hill’. (PPAF)
