Both attractive and utilitarian, this lush, upright perennial is great for adding colour and fragrance to the landscape, a container garden, a fresh-cut arrangement or DIY potpourri. Butterflies and honeybees are drawn to the small, trumpetlike blooms, which form on branching, colourful spires. The rose-tinted, purple flower spikes contrast beautifully with the fragrant, wrinkled, grey-green leaves growing below. Schwellenburg Salvia, also known as meadow sage, will flower for a long time provided that it gets a lot of sun and is periodically deadheaded. Low-maintenance variety returns and spreads year after year! Salvia nemorosa
