Salvia nemorosa 'Caramia'
Perennial Sages are invaluable additions to borders, forming compact clumps with grey-green leaves. They boast dark purple flower spikes on dark stems, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds in early summer. Prune faded flowers for re-blooming or cut back after flowering. These plants tolerate drought and can be easily divided every 3 to 4 years in spring. Ideal for both aesthetics and cutting.
