    Salvia 'East Friesland', also known as Salvia nemorosa 'Ostfriesland', has glowing purple stems loaded with violet-purple flowers that bloom from June to October. With its blue-green, lance-shaped aromatic foliage, it makes an attractive accent all summer long. It has a plant height of 11-18" and a spread of 9-12" and stays in excellent compact form. Salvia 'East 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. 'East Friesland' is a magnet for butterflies, bees and hummingbirds and is deer-resistant. It is hardy for container gardening and provides excellent cut flowers. Blooms look wonderful next to Sedum 'Matrona', Achillea 'Coronation Gold' and Saliva 'Snow Hill'.
