Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another winning plant selected by Brent of Intrinsic Perennial Gardens. Purple-pink flowers bloom in late-May to early-June on dark purple stems. The calyx (the bract that holds the flower) is also purple and this color holds through June, offering a month more of interesting color!? Like all Salvia nemerosa varieties, full sun and well-drained soil are best.?
