Noted for its ultra-large blossoms, Salvia nemorosa ‘Rose Marvel’ produces stunning spikes of rich, deep rose flowers adorned with purple calyces from early summer to fall. Showy, undemanding, this hardy Salvia cultivar is an excellent dwarf reblooming variety that provides color and impact over a long season in both the landscape and containers.

  • 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, aromatic wavy-edged leaves, up to 10-12 in. tall and wide (25-30 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.
