Salvia - Marcus

The Salvia \'Marcus\'Ö, Salvia nemorosa, is a new dwarf version of the Salvia \'May Night\'Ö. With its compact, dense habit of growing, it is easy to accommodate in any perennial garden. Spikes of intense violet-blue flowers bloom on top gray-green foliage and flower from June to October. \'Marcus\'Ö has a plant height of 12\'¥ and a spread of 12-18\'¥.Salvia \'Marcus\'Ö should be planted in full sun in a moist well-drained area. To increase bloom time, it should be cut back after the first bloom. \'Marcus\'Ö is a magnet for butterflies, bees and hummingbirds and is deer-resistant. It is hardy for container gardening, as a border plant and provides excellent cut flowers. Blooms look wonderful next to Sedum \'Matrona\'Ö, Achillea \'Coronation Gold\' and Saliva \'Snow Hill\'Ö.
