Winner of the 2012 RHS Award of Garden Merit, Salvia 'Caradonna' is an erect, compact herbaceous perennial with round clumps of aromatic, gray-green foliage bearing glowing dark purple stems and stunning vertical spikes of rich, violet-blue flowers appearing in late spring/early summer. Striking in the garden when in bloom, they last for weeks bringing strong color and form to the early summer border. Drought tolerant, deer resistant, and a magnet for butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Full sun. 1-2'x 1-2', Z4-9.
