    Salvia 'May Night', also known as Salvia nemorosa 'Mainacht', has glowing purple stems loaded with violet-purple flowers that bloom from June to October. With its blue-gray, lance-shaped aromatic foliage, it makes an attractive accent all summer long. It has a plant height of 18-24" and a spread of 18-24" and stays in excellent compact form. Selected Perennial Plant of the year in 1997, one can see why. Salvia 'May Night' 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. 'May Night' 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'.
