Salvia nemorosa ‘New Dimension Rose’ (Sage)
Salvia 'New Dimension Rose', Sage 'New Dimension Rose'
Salvia nemorosa ‘New Dimension Rose’ (Sage) is a compact, bushy perennial with erect, dense, narrow spikes of deep and intense rose-pink flowers appearing in late spring. Rising well above a round clump of aromatic, green foliage, they last for weeks until late summer, and bring strong color and form to the summer border.
- Grows up to 8-10 in. high (20-25 cm) and 12-18 in. wide (30-45 cm).
- Enjoys full sun (light shade is tolerated) in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils. Sandy or gravelly soils with good drainage are preferred!
- Makes an attractive accent in perennial borders, butterfly gardens or cottage gardens. Combines beautifully with yellow Achillea (Yarrow), daylilies or interspersed with roses. Very useful and adaptable in the garden, it is trouble-free and easy to grow.
- Drought tolerant and deer resistant, it is a real magnet for butterflies, hummingbirds and bees!
- Remove spent flower spikes to promote further blooms and cut back after flowering is over.
