PERPETUAL PURPLE™ SAGE
Salvia nemorosa Perpetual Purple™ is a standout selection prized for its exceptionally long bloom time and intense, dark purple flower spikes. It features a dense, upright habit, typically reaching a mature height of 15 to 18 inches with a similar spread. The vivid purple blooms are held on dark charcoal-colored stems, which adds an extra layer of depth and visual interest against the deep green foliage. Its uniform growth and prolific flowering make it a top choice for the front or middle of a perennial border, where it reliably attracts a "parade" of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds from late spring well into the summer months.
To keep Perpetual Purple™ thriving and encourage its namesake "perpetual" blooming habit, it should be planted in a location that receives full sun and has well-drained soil. While it is notably heat-tolerant and can handle drier conditions once established, providing consistent moisture during its first growing season is essential for a strong start. To stimulate a secondary flush of those rich purple spikes, it is highly effective to shear it back to its basal foliage after the initial heavy bloom fades. In early spring, simply remove any dead stems from the previous year to make room for fresh new growth. Its natural resistance to deer and rabbits ensures it remains a dependable, low-maintenance performer in the landscape.
