Salvia nemorosa – ‘Caradonna’
Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’ enchants with its upright, regal form—dark, purple-black stems that appear nearly black serve as a dramatic backdrop to vivid violet-blue flower spikes. Blooming from late spring into early summer, these striking blooms often rebloom with deadheading, making ‘Caradonna’ a long‑lasting centerpiece in perennial beds or borders. The aromatic foliage releases a gentle scent when crushed, and the plant’s compact, clump-forming habit (about 12" tall foliage with spikes rising up to 24–30") makes it both elegant and manageable. Exceptionally friendly to pollinators—hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees all flock to its nectar-rich blooms—while deer and rabbits tend to steer clear, making it a resilient and wildlife‑friendly choice.
