The Salvia ‘East Friesland’, Salvia nemorosa
‘Ostfriesland’, has glowing purple stems
loaded with violet-purple flowers that bloom
from June to October. With its blue-green,
lance-shaped aromatic foliage, it makes an
attractive accent all summer long. It has a
plant height of 18” and a spread of 18-24”
and stays in excellent compact form. Salvia
‘East Friesland’ should be planted in full
sun in a moist well-drained area.To
increase bloom time, it should be cut back
after the first bloom. ‘East Friesland’ is a
magnet for butterflies, bees and
hummingbirds and is deer-resistant. It is
hardy for container gardening and provides
excellent cut flowers. Blooms look wonderful
next to Sedum ‘Matrona’, Achillea
'Coronation Gold' and Saliva ‘Snow Hill’.
