Salvia nemorosa Lyrical™ Rose (Woodland Sage)

Salvia nemorosa Lyrical™ Rose is a compact and prolific perennial known for its dense spikes of vibrant rose-pink flowers. The blooms rise above a neat clump of aromatic, gray-green foliage, creating a long-lasting and colorful display. This variety is ideal for borders, cottage gardens, or pollinator-friendly landscapes, providing an excellent source of nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Salvia nemorosa Lyrical™ Rose prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soils and is drought-tolerant once established. It is deer- and rabbit-resistant, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardens. Deadheading spent flowers promotes prolonged blooming, and cutting back after the first flush of flowers encourages fresh growth and potential reblooming. Pair it with other sun-loving perennials like echinacea, coreopsis, or ornamental grasses for a dynamic and colorful garden display. This versatile plant is perfect for adding texture, color, and movement to sunny borders.
