Salvia - Pink Friesland
The Salvia Pink Friesland, Salvia nemorosa ‘Pink Friesland’, may just challenge it's cousin, East Friesland, as one of the best perennials of all time. It has dark red stems loaded with pink flowers that bloom from June to September. After the flowers fade little seed pods appear making this a truly unique variety. It has a plant height of 18” and a spread of 12-15” and stays in excellent compact form. Pink Friesland should be planted in full sun in a moist well-drained area. To increase bloom time, it should be cut back after the first bloom. Pink Friesland is a magnet for butterflies, bees and hummingbirds and is deer-resistant. It is hardy for container gardening and provides excellent cut flowers. ... additional info
