Salvia nemorosa ‘Ostfriesland’ stands out with its stunning blue flowers and dark tips on the flowering spikes. Preferably situated in a sunny spot within the border, Salvia nemorosa ‘Ostfriesland’ thrives in well-drained garden soil that is not excessively wet and is drought tolerant. This sage blends seamlessly with other border plants and reaches a height of approximately 50-60 cm. Slender spikes of vivid violet-blue flowers appear from July to September, hovering above clusters of crinkled, mid-green leaves. This compact variety of salvia is an excellent choice for bringing a burst of colour to the front of well-drained herbaceous borders or gravel gardens. It adapts well to both sunny locations and lightly shaded areas, and its violet-blue blooms serve as a magnet for butterflies and bees.
