Description
A petite and floriferous meadow sage that reaches about 14 inches tall and equally as wide, Sallyrosa April Night Salvia puts on a spectacular flower show beginning a month earlier in the season than other varieties. Clustered spikes packed with brilliant violet-blue flowers start opening in April in our gardens, hence the common name, and continue coming through mid summer. Pruning flowers stems after flowering encourages rebloom. The flower spikes rise from dense upright mounds of attractive lance shaped and crinkled mildew resistant dark green leaves. The flowers are a top favorite of hummingbirds, and the butterflies and beneficial pollinators will appreciate them as well. Also excellent for cut flowers. Give this one as much sun as possible in most any well-drained soil in gardens beds or containers and it is sure to please.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 14 inches tall and equally as wide, April Night Salvia is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces or in groupings, mass plantings or as a border in sunny garden beds. Excellent as a solo or combined with other plants in pots, planters and other containers that can be situated on patios or around other outdoor sitting and living spaces. A fine addition to hummingbird gardens, butterfly gardens, cut flower gardens, perennial gardens, blue or purple theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Growing Preferences
A super-hardy perennial in USDA Zones 4a-9b and very easy to grow, April Night Salvia prefers a moist but well-drained soil and full to mostly sun. Will not tolerate constantly soggy soils. Flowering will be heavier and plants more dense with more sun. Established plants are tolerant of dry periods when growing in the ground however will appreciate an occasional deep soaking when temperatures are high and weather is dry. Trimming flower stems after the bloom encourages rebloom.
