Easy-Growing, Bright-Blooming Perennial
Looking for an eye-catching, plant-anywhere perennial? The May Night Salvia is the perfect choice.
With tall, spiky indigo-blue flowers and mounds of soft, green foliage, the May Night Salvia (also known as May Night Sage or Meadow Sage) adds bright color to mixed borders, flower beds, patio containers and more. It's well-suited to cottage landscapes, rock gardens or cut flower beds.
It's one of the easiest perennials to grow and maintain. Whether you're an expert gardener or a first-time grower, you'll get months of vibrant, re-blooming flowers. This low-maintenance show-stopper is also drought tolerant once established, and resistant to deer and rabbits.
A sweet fragrance means it attracts pollinators like bees, butterflies and hummingbirds - and it makes for lush bouquets of cut flowers in your home, or to give to friends.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Find a spot with well-drained soil and full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). The May Night Salvia thrives in growing zones where spring and summer nights remain cool.
Plant your May Night Salvia in a hole twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Water immediately to establish roots, and add a 3-inch layer of mulch to prevent weeds.
If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the size of your plant's shipped container, and use organic soil. Place your May Night Salvia, water to settle its roots, and find a sunny spot on your porch or patio.
2. Watering: May Night Salvia plants are drought-tolerant once established, but you'll want to water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to support a healthy root system. Once established, water weekly or when soil is dry two inches down.
If your May Night Salvia is in a container, water more frequently, until you see water flowing from the drainage holes at the bottom.
3. Pruning and care: Prune annually after flowering, and remove spent flowers to encourage blooming. Fertilize before new growth in spring.

United StatesExcited for the color
I was looking for a plant to pot on my porch. This one looked so pretty on the sight and I thought it would suit my needs. It arrived two day after I ordered it. It was a bit wilted but I presume the was from travel. I got it int to a nice pot and watered it. It percked up right away and one work later I noticed a bloom. It even smells like mint which I wasn't expecting. Very nice!
United StatesPerfect & Beautiful
I can guarantee that these are 100% Sheep proof. That means they are probably also Deer proof. And beautiful and the bees love them.
