Salvia nemorosa Rosakönigin

Salvia nemorosa 'Rosakönigin,' commonly known as Rose Queen Sage, is a beautiful, clump-forming perennial prized for its dense spikes of soft rose-pink flowers. The blooms rise above aromatic, lance-shaped, gray-green foliage, creating an elegant and colorful display in the garden. This long-blooming sage is perfect for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Salvia nemorosa 'Rosakönigin' thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soils and is drought-tolerant once established. It is highly attractive to pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while being deer- and rabbit-resistant. Deadheading spent flowers promotes prolonged blooming, and cutting the plant back after flowering encourages fresh growth and potential reblooming. Pair it with other sun-loving perennials like lavender, echinacea, or coreopsis for a vibrant and harmonious garden display. This low-maintenance plant is perfect for creating texture, color, and movement in sunny borders.
