Salvia nemorosa ‘Amethyst’
at Digging Dog
Sage
Thought in ancient times to perpetuate good health, an Arab proverb asks, “How shall a man die with sage in his garden?” Our Salvias are diverse perennials, shrubs or subshrubs. Many of them hail from the Mediterranean, Mexico and South America.
Drought tolerant, reliable once established, and generally pest and disease free, they combine an array of flowers and aromatic foliage in many different sizes, shapes, and hues. Salvia nemorosa ‘Amethyst’ 
With the violet-blue tones of the blossoms, and the similar but rosier shades of the enduring calyxes and prominent streaks that mark the leafy upright flower stems, this richly colored Salvia is a jewel. With wavy-edged foliage, this long bloomer exhibits a handsome fullness. Softening the edge of our
pathway in the company of Origanum ‘Ed Carmine’, a violet theme is created, while the
addition of Kniphofia ‘Border Ballet’ adds a lively splash of melon to the picture.
Blooms early June–September. Size: 2-1/2' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 5. Salvia nemorosa ‘Amethyst’ (p-0813)
