Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' – Hardy Perennial – 2L Pot
Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' is an elegant and long-flowering hardy perennial, prized for its deep violet-purple flower spikes held on distinctive dark purple-black stems. Flowering throughout summer, it adds striking vertical interest to borders, cottage gardens, wildlife-friendly planting schemes and patio containers.
Reaching around 50–60 cm in height with a spread of 30–45 cm, this compact, upright perennial forms neat clumps of aromatic grey-green foliage. Its architectural habit makes it perfect for the middle of sunny borders, where its rich flower colour contrasts beautifully with ornamental grasses, roses and other summer-flowering perennials.
The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators, making 'Caradonna' an excellent choice for wildlife gardens. Removing spent flower spikes after the first flush will encourage a second display later in the season, extending its ornamental value well into late summer.
This hardy perennial thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires very little maintenance, making it a reliable and easy-care addition to any garden.
Flowering Period
June: Tall flower spikes begin to emerge above the dark stems.
June – July: Peak flowering with rich violet-purple blooms creating a bold display.
August – September: Deadheading after the first flush encourages a second wave of flowers, providing continued colour into early autumn.
With its dramatic dark stems, vivid purple flower spikes and excellent pollinator appeal, Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' is a superb low-maintenance perennial for bringing colour, structure and wildlife interest to sunny gardens.
Supplied as: One healthy, established Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' in a 2L nursery pot.
Please note that plants are living items and their size and appearance will vary throughout the year. Plants may be cut back, dormant, or not in flower at the time of dispatch depending on the season.
