Salvia nemerosa Ostfriesland

Salvia nemorosa 'Ostfriesland' is another great classic cottage garden perennial that holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. It is highly celebrated for its extremely compact, bushy habit and outstandingly rich flower production. The plant forms a dense, neat mound of aromatic green leaves, out of which numerous rigid vertical stems shoot upward to display tight spikes of intense violet-blue hooded flowers sitting in contrasting purple bracts. It is a premier, low-maintenance choice for introducing structural lines, rich late-summer color, and neat borders to cottage gardens, gravel layouts, or patio container displays. A tried and trusted favourite.
