Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' (Caradonna Meadow Sage) 4"
'Caradonna' Meadow Sage is a tried-and-true choice for a trouble-free, drought-tolerant perennial for hot, sunny spots with sharp drainage. This cultivar features striking dark purple-black stems that hold stunning vertical spikes of dense violet-blue flowers above tidy, compact and very upright foliage.
As with most meadow sages, this one is a magnet for native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial insects. Flowers appear in late spring and can persist or rebloom all summer, especially if helped along with occasional deadheading.
Each plant grows about 2 ft. high and wide, making it a nice option for gathering some cut flowers as well as leaving plenty in the garden for wildlife to enjoy. The strong herbal scent makes meadow sages naturally resistant to deer and rabbits. Create lovely combinations by planting this in conjunction with other sun-loving perennials such as Achillea, Perovskia, Echinacea, Gaillardia, Lupinus, Asclepias, and Solidago.
