Caradonna Salvia

Salvia Caradonna’ is an erect, clump-forming perennial salvia that is noted for its dark purple stems and blue-violet flowers. It typically forms a foliage mound to 12 inches tall. Medium green leaves are aromatic when crushed. In summer, dense terminal spikes of violet-blue flowers rise above the foliage to 24 inches tall. Salvia Caradonna is easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates drought. Prefers moist, gravelly, or sandy soils with good drainage. Plants may repeat bloom throughout the summer, but need regular moisture to encourage this. Remove spent flower spikes to help extend the bloom period.
