Description
Salvia ‘Nachtvlinder’ is a stunning, shrubby Saliva with delicate small leaves and deep purple, velvety flowers that are loved by bees and other pollinators. It flowers from early summer right through until autumn, and work well combined with roses, in herb gardens or among other herbaceous planting. We also grow them in containers where they make wonderful, long-lasting displays.
These established plants have been grown at our nursery in Cornwall and are supplied in 2 litre containers. They will flower from May until the first frosts.
Growing Advice
Salvia ‘Nachtvlinder’ are easy plants to grow and care for. In general they prefer good drainage and as much sun as possible, and are fairly drought-proof though they shouldn’t be allowed to completely dry out. For the most prolific flowering, cut back to a low bud in early spring, deadhead through summer and trim again in late summer to promote autumn flowering. They also benefit from pinching out when in early growth in the season to keep the foliage compact and dense. Though hardy a deep frost shortly after pruning might delay growth and flowering, so provide some protection if a frost is forecast and you’ve recently pruned back, or delay pruning back until frosts are clear for the season.
