Salvia 'Nachtvlinder'
Synonym(s): Salvia x jamensis 'Nachtvlinder' Common Name: 'Sage'AGM. A deservedly popular salvia forming a bushy plant which is usually evergreen if not cut backby frost.

Care Instructions
Grow in light, moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Best in a sheltered position but usually overwinters if given full sun and good drainage. Drought tolerant once established and attractive to pollinating insects. Removal of spent flowers will prolong flowering further. Best cut back in spring rather than autumn/winter; this gives some winter protection and helps promote bushy growth.
