Salvia nemorosa 'Blaukönigin' - 2026

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

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 valued for its intense flower colour, long flowering season, and ability to bring structure and ornamental impact to perennial borders.
