Salvias are naturally distributed over three distinct regions of diversity: Central and South America (approx.: 600 species); Central Asia and the Mediterranean (250 species); Eastern Asia (90 species). There are salvias for every type of garden, and in many colours.
Salvia nemorosa are hardy herbaceous perennials native to a wide area of central Europe and western Asia. They are popular garden plants, and many cultivars and hybrids have been developed.
S. nemorosa ‘Caradonna’ is a sought after and popular cultivar with the distinction of having dark reddish-purple stems and rich violet blue flowers. Plants will bloom for weeks in late spring or early summer. It will often flower again if cut back after the first flush. bee and Butterfly magnet
