Salvia nemerosa 'Bumbleberry' – Meadow Sage

Salvia nemerosa 'Bumbleberry' – Meadow Sage / Hybrid Sage (Bumble Series)

Part of the compact, pollinator-beloved Bumble series, 'Bumbleberry' delivers rich, dark fuchsia pink flower spikes with deep wine-colored calyces from spring through fall — a jewel-toned color combination that's stunning in the border and irresistible to bumblebees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Drought tolerant, heat tolerant, deer tolerant, and gopher tolerant, it's a low-maintenance workhorse for borders, rock gardens, edges, and containers. Excellent as a fresh or dried cut flower, and pairs beautifully with Achillea (yarrow) and under roses. Syn. S. x sylvestris, S. superba. PP#31,602.
