DESCRIPTION
Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' is a compact herbaceous perennial renowned for its striking spikes of vibrant purple-blue flowers and lance-shaped green leaves forming a dense basal rosette. Blooming in late spring to early summer, its tubular flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, and deadheading spent flowers can encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat appearance. Thriving in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil, 'Caradonna' is relatively low-maintenance. Its long-lasting blooms and aromatic foliage make it a popular choice for borders, herb gardens, and containers, providing a vivid and enduring display in the garden.
