SALVIA nemorosa Violettkönigin

Salvia nemorosa 'Violettkönigin,' commonly known as Violet Queen Sage, is a hardy perennial celebrated for its vibrant, dense spikes of violet-purple flowers. These upright flower spikes rise above aromatic, gray-green, lance-shaped foliage, creating a striking contrast and adding vertical interest to garden borders. This long-blooming sage is a favorite for cottage gardens, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and mixed perennial beds.

Salvia nemorosa 'Violettkönigin' 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 and is also deer- and rabbit-resistant, making it low-maintenance. Deadheading spent flower spikes promotes prolonged blooming, and cutting the plant back after flowering encourages fresh growth and potential reblooming. Pair this violet sage with other sun-loving perennials like rudbeckia, echinacea, or coreopsis for a dynamic, colorful garden display. Its tidy habit and vibrant color make it a standout in any sunny garden.
