Salvia nemorosa

Meadow Sage (Salvia nemorosa) is a hardy perennial known for its upright, clumping growth habit and striking spikes of violet-blue flowers. It typically grows 1 to 2 feet tall and prefers full sun, though it can tolerate partial shade. Meadow Sage thrives in well-drained soils and is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for medium to dry conditions. This plant is highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies, and its aromatic foliage is deer-resistant. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged blooming throughout the summer.
