Color Spires Pink Dawn Salvia

Salvia nemorosa 'Pink Dawn'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: This colorful salvia has wrinkled, medium green to gray green leaves. Late spring to early summer, cotton candy pink flowers blossom all along tall, erect stems that sit above the foliage. These blossoms last well into the summer.

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.
