Violet Queen meadow sage is a large, clump-forming selection with deep purple-blue flower spikes that begin blooming a little earlier than most Salvia nemorosa cultivars and continue from June through August. Its fragrant, mid-green foliage and upright habit make it a versatile companion for nearly any sunny border planting, and deadheading spent spikes encourages further flowering. It is a reliable, easy-care perennial that requires minimal attention once established.
