About the Salvia -
Plumosa :
The Salvia ‘Plumosa’, Salvia nemorosa, has
glowing purple stems loaded with deep, double purple
flowers that bloom from June to October. With its
gray-green basal leaves and 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 ‘Plumosa’ 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. ‘Plumosa’ 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’.
