Description

May Night Wood Sage (Salvia × sylvestris 'May Night') is a hardy, clump-forming perennial celebrated for its vibrant violet-indigo flower spikes and aromatic green foliage. Tall, upright stems carry densely packed, two-lipped blossoms that create striking vertical accents from late spring into summer. The slender, scallop-edged leaves form a bushy base beneath the colorful flowers. Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, this reliable perennial brings long-lasting color to sunny borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings. Deadheading encourages additional blooms.
