Salvia nemorosa 'Noble Princess' PPAF
Perennial
Height 8-10"
Spread 10-24"
This compact perennial mound of silvery-green foliage produces extra-large flower stalks all season. An early bloomer, it is self-cleaning and continuously reblooms from spring to fall. A dense bouquet of dark stalks holds large, vibrant pink flowers that act as a pollinator magnet. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, it is ideal for borders, containers, mass plantings, or foundation beds with little care.
Water
Water regularly; allow soil to dry down between watering. Drought tolerant once established.
Fertilizer
In early spring, just as new growth begins to emerge, use a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer like 10-10-10. Do not fertilize after mid-summer as it encourages tender new growth that will be killed by the first winter frost.
Pruning
Remove dead foliage in fall or early spring before new growth emerges.
Spring
Foliage forms a compact mound emerging in spring, quickly making way for a profusion of flower stalks that bloom continuously until fall.
Summer
Self-cleaning flower stalks bloom all summer, attracting pollinators. Exceptionally large flower stalks boast large and prominent deep pink flowers.
Fall
Blooms continue until frost.
