Its petite proportions bring lovely color to sunny edging, rock gardens, patio containers, and the front of mixed borders without crowding neighboring plants. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the spring and summer flowers, while established plants offer useful drought tolerance and deer resistance. Grow in average, well-drained soil in full sun, water regularly during establishment, and deadhead spent spikes to encourage a longer flowering season. Although drought tolerant, it flowers best with occasional supplemental water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerbaceous perennial with a compact, dwarf mounding habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViolet-blue flowers in spring and summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFragrant foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought tolerant once established and deer resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for edging, rock gardens, small spaces, and containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeadheading encourages a longer bloom display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso sold as Marcus, cultivar 'Haeumanarc'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 8–12 in | Spread: 10–12 in\u003cbr\u003eExposure: Full sun | Water: Low to moderate once established\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: Spring–summer | Bloom color: Violet-blue\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zone: 4–9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russian River Rootworks ","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":48427821105206,"sku":"SALVIA-NEMOROSA-MARCUS-1GAL","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/russianriverrootworks.com\/products\/salvia-nemorosa-marcus-meadow-sage","provider":"Russian River Rootworks ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
