About the Salvia - May
Night :
The Salvia ‘May Night’, Salvia nemorosa ‘Mainacht’,
has glowing purple stems loaded with violet-purple
flowers that bloom from June to October. With its
blue-gray, 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. Selected Perennial Plant of
the year in 1997, one can see why. Salvia ‘May
Night’ 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. ‘May Night’ 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’.
