Add striking color and vertical interest to your garden with Salvia Caradonna (Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’). This stunning perennial is known for its tall, upright spikes of deep violet-blue flowers that bloom from late spring through summer. Its dark, almost black stems provide a dramatic contrast to the vibrant blooms, making Salvia Caradonna a standout in borders, beds, or containers. Easy to grow and care for, it’s an excellent choice for both beginner and seasoned gardeners.

Key Features:

  • Vibrant Blooms: Tall spikes of vivid violet-blue flowers bring bold color and texture to any garden.
  • Long Bloom Period: Blooms from late spring to mid-summer, with potential for reblooming if deadheaded.
  • Compact and Upright: Reaches 18-24 inches tall and spreads 12-18 inches, ideal for small spaces and garden edges.
  • Pollinator-Friendly: Attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, supporting a healthy garden ecosystem.
  • Drought Tolerant: Once established, thrives in dry conditions and requires minimal watering.
  • Deer and Rabbit Resistant: Keeps your garden safe from browsing animals.

Care Tips:

  • Plant in well-drained soil and full sun to ensure healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
  • Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry between waterings.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage a second bloom and maintain a tidy appearance.
  • Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring for fresh growth the following season.

Whether used as a focal point, in mass plantings, or alongside other perennials, Salvia Caradonna is a versatile, low-maintenance addition that brings vibrant color, structure, and life to your garden. Its bold blooms and graceful form are sure to impress year after year!
