Very striking! Pink flowers on a background of burgundy buds and medium green foliage make this 2-3' a knockout in late spring... it?s also a great cut flower. S/M/GDr

German for 'Rose Wine', let this Salvia bathe your garden with bright rose-hued flowers. Adorning a low mound of tidy green foliage, the upright leafy spikes are offset by prominent, dark earthy pink calyxes and buds of the same shade. Position in the front of the border with Geranium 'Mavis Simpson' and Kniphofia 'Safranvogel' for an intoxicating display.

One of the nicer nemorosa forms producing a plethora of spikes packed with tiny clear pink flowers in early summer and will often rebloom if you cut it back after the first flowering. Tops out between 12 and 18 inches in our conditions, drought, heat, and cold tolerant, pretty much hard to kill as long as it has plenty of sun. zone 4 ? Joseph
