Salvia 'Marcus', also known as Salvia nemorosa, is a new dwarf version of the Salvia 'May Night'. With its compact, dense habit of growing, it is easy to accommodate in any perennial garden. Spikes of intense violet-blue flowers bloom on top gray-green foliage and flower from June to October. 'Marcus' has a plant height of 12" and a spread of 12-18". Salvia 'Marcus' 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. 'Marcus' is a magnet for butterflies, bees and hummingbirds and is deer-resistant. It is hardy for container gardening, as a border plant and provides excellent cut flowers. Blooms look wonderful next to Sedum 'Matrona', Achillea 'Coronation Gold' and Saliva 'Snow Hill'.
