The Technique

May Night Salvia grounds garden spaces as the spikes bloom well into the summer months. They look great when planted near mailboxes & fence posts. They require full sun, are cold hardy & perform quite well in poor soil conditions, clay in particular. Use them in cut flower arrangements as the spikes of color brighten spaces instantly.
