Salvia nemorosa Ostfriesland

Balkan Clary Ostfriesland

A beautiful, robust and long-lived ornamental sage for the front of a sunny border, Salvia nemorosa Ostfriesland is a compact, bushy, clump-forming, herbaceous perennial with narrow, mid-green, pleasantly aromatic leaves. From July to September masses of violet-blue hooded flowers with purple-pink calyces appear on purplish stems; the flowers are very attractive to bees and butterflies, and are good as cut flowers. Dead-heading and keeping the soil moist prolongs flowering, but established plants are drought-tolerant and very low-maintenance. Balkan Clary Ostfriesland holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
