Compact, Salvia nemorosa 'Pink Dawn' is a lovely upright perennial producing glowing purple stems and stunning spikes of sizable, cotton candy pink flowers, opening from fuchsia buds. The flowers are densely arranged in whorls around the stems and bloom from late spring into early summer.

• This superb cultivar is really an interesting plant that makes an attractive accent in perennial borders, butterfly gardens, and 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.
• Reliable, this erect, bushy herbaceous perennial grows in round clumps of mid-green to gray-green, aromatic wavy-edged leaves, up to 16-20 in. tall and wide (40-50 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!
• 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.
