Plant Features

East Friesland Salvia (Salvia nemorosa 'East Friesland') is a stunning, herbaceous perennial that forms a compact, bushy mound of aromatic, wrinkled, gray-green foliage. From late spring through summer, this eye-catching plant produces numerous tall, upright spikes adorned with small, tubular flowers in a rich, vibrant shade of violet-purple, creating a dramatic vertical accent in the garden.

Our Salvia Plants are cultivated with care and are free from harmful pesticides, making them a safe and stunning addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Best planted in spring or fall for optimal root establishment
  • - Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for mature growth and airflow

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5
  • - Prefers well-drained soil, tolerates poor or sandy soils

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water deeply when first planted, allowing soil to dry between waterings
  • - Once established, Salvia is drought-tolerant and thrives with minimal watering

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage vigorous growth and blooming
  • - Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can result in weak, leggy growth

Pruning and Training:

  • - Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering
  • - Cut back in late fall or early spring to maintain shape and promote new growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Salvia is generally pest-free, though monitor for aphids or spider mites in very dry conditions
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent any fungal issues, though Salvia is highly disease-resistant

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from late spring through summer with vertical spikes of blue, purple, red, or pink flowers

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, tolerates both heat and cold once established

Companion Plants for Salvia:

  • - Lavender: Complements Salvia with its fragrant, drought-tolerant nature and soft purple flowers
  • - Echinacea: Adds vibrant color and height to pair with Salvia’s spiky blooms
  • - Coreopsis: Provides a continuous display of yellow flowers that contrast beautifully with Salvia’s cool tones
  • - Achillea: Complements Salvia with its delicate clusters of flowers and pollinator appeal
  • - Rudbeckia: Adds bold yellow blooms that enhance the overall summer display of Salvia

Better Life Through Plants

The salvia arrived safely and is currently in the ground welcoming each day with its lovely purple flowers. I discovered Growjoy a year ago and have made beautiful additions to our garden plus our daughter's. Great pricing, dependable service but more importantly healthy plants that will continue 'coming back' year after year. Many thanks to your all for the beauty you have provided us.
