Salvia Nemorosa 'May Night' is a fast growing perennial plant that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 4A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 1 foot to 3 feet and an average width of 1 foot to 2 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun or morning shade with afternoon sun and grows best when planted in sand, loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained or moderately drained. In the spring May Night Salvia produces blue and violet flowers. The foliage is medium green and dark green in color. It attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, visual attention and songbirds / birds and is resistant to drought, foot traffic and heat.
May Night Salvia can be useful in the landscape in mass plantings, as a border or edger, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, in landscape beds or islands or in small groupings and also in rock or xeriscape gardens, theme gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens or perennial gardens.
'May Night' is an award winning Salvia and rightly so as it's a top performer in the landscape and gardens. Dense spikes of deep violet-purple flowers are produced in early summer and will continue longer if deadheaded. This is a clump forming plant with oblong, dark-green leaves which are aromatic when crushed.
