Salvia superba - Violet Queen

Salvia x superba 'Violet Queen'

Pot Size: Gallon, 4" deep

Violet Queen provides a constant "summer show" of blooms. 3/4 inch violet flowers are clustered along upright stems that rise above the plant and pair beautifully with other companion plants in beds and gardens. Intensely aromatic, this salvia blooms non-stop from the summer through to frost in the late fall, and guarantees blooms its first year. It will play host to hummingbirds, bees and butterflies; it is drought-tolerant; it is deer resistant.
