Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Soft mounds of mid-green, slightly hairy leaves give rise to long, reddish stems carrying whorls of rich purple flowers that create a buzz with pollinators. Salvia verticillata ‘Purple Rain’ was made famous by the renowned designer, Piet Oudolf, who frequently used it his prairie garden schemes, where it was valued for its resilience, adaptability and long flowering season. This hardy salvia makes a good choice for the front of the border where it softens hard edges with a haze of purple that keeps flowering for weeks on end. Height and Spread: 60cm (24in).

Hardy salvia plants prefer a moist, but well-drained soil in full sun, although once established they can also be very drought resistant.
Water regularly until salvia plants are fully established. Deadhead faded flowers throughout the summer to encourage more blooms to be produced.
