Salvia nemorosa 'Blauhügel' - 2026

Salvia nemorosa 'Blauhügel' is a clump-forming perennial with aromatic green foliage and upright spikes of deep violet-blue flowers. Blooming from late spring into summer, it provides a long-lasting display in borders, cottage gardens, and wildlife-friendly plantings. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, offering ecological benefits while enhancing visual appeal. The compact, bushy habit makes it well-suited for mixed borders, low-maintenance schemes, or mass planting for vibrant summer colour.

It thrives in full sun in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and is low-maintenance, benefiting from occasional deadheading to prolong flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. Non-native to the UK, it is prized for its vivid flower colour, extended bloom period, and ability to bring structure and long-lasting ornamental value to garden borders.
