Sallyrosa April Night Sage

Salvia x sylvestris 'April Night'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: This is a new small salvia that blooms a month earlier than older varieties. It has a very long bloom period, producing flowers from late spring all the way through summer until frost. The violet flowers on tall spikes bloom above compact upright foliage. It is a perennial that is easy to care for, just cut the whole plant back after the first bloom fades to encourage more flower growth.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
