Salvia x jamensis - Nachtvlinder

Indescribably gorgeous, velvety plum flowers are the calling card of Salvia 'Nachtvlinder', often searched as salvia nachtvlinder. Flowering from June to first frost, this hardy sage produces glowing, hooded, two-lipped blooms that are especially beloved by hummingbirds.

A bushy evergreen subshrub with aromatic, inch-long ovate green leaves, this sun-loving plant—native to Mexico—reaches about 2 feet tall and wide. It’s a perfect candidate for showing off, whether planted along a well-traveled walkway or featured in a thoughtfully placed container.

Like most salvias, it thrives in fertile, freely draining soil and benefits from protection against hard frosts, cold drying winds, and excessive winter moisture. Deer resistant. Note: Some natural variation in flower color (including occasional purple and white bicolor blooms) may occur within this variety.
