Salvia x sylvestris 'May Night' | May Night Sage

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Salvia x sylvestris ‘May Night’ produces upright flower spikes densely packed with deep violet-blue blossoms that emerge in late spring and continue into early summer, often followed by repeat flowering later in the season. The blooms are held above narrow, deep green foliage that forms orderly clumps and provides a strong backdrop for the dark-toned calyces, which deepen the overall color effect.

‘May Night’ has become a staple in ornamental gardens. It fits naturally into borders, mixed perennial beds, and mass plantings, where its vertical form adds structure. It also performs well along paths and edges, offering dependable seasonal color and a steady rhythm of bloom year after year.
