BUMBLE® BUMBLESKY SAGE
Salvia nemorosa 'Bumblesky' is a refreshing perennial prized for its luminous, light blue floral display and exceptionally tidy habit. It produces numerous upright spikes of delicate sky-blue flowers that emerge from darker calyxes, creating a soft, two-toned effect that brightens the garden in early summer. Its aromatic, deep green foliage forms a dense mound that remains attractive and structurally sound even when it is not in bloom. This prolific bloomer serves as a vital nectar hub that consistently attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds from spring into midsummer.
Salvia 'Bumblesky' enjoys a prominent location in full sun with well-draining soil, as it thrives in at least six hours of direct light and can struggle in heavy, waterlogged earth. Once the initial massive flush of flowers begins to fade, a quick shearing of the spent spikes will encourage the plant to produce a second round of blooms in late summer. It is remarkably heat-tolerant and stays naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a reliable, low-maintenance choice for adding light blue tones to smaller garden spaces.
