added by Genevieve Schmidt to 5 Bright, Cheerful Coastal Garden Flowers
The May Night sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Mainacht', zone 4) in the foreground adds a lovely purple accent to the coastal garden. It needs little care or supplemental water to perform well. When in bloom, it reaches 18 inches tall, and in the winter it is simply cut to the ground. The plant blooms May through July and is the perfect companion to landscape roses; the blossoms attract beneficial insects that eat aphids.The sage in this photo is shown with yellow-flowered Euphorbia, green Santolina and orange wallflower/ Erysimum (for sheltered locations).
Perennial SageSalvia X sylvestris ‘May Night’ Most salvias give a lengthy performance in the garden, and cold-hardy 'May Night' delights with a late-season encore when regularly deadheaded. The plant's indigo-blue spikes of large flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds and make a no-fuss addition to beds and borders. Mix with yellow flowers, purple sedums and lamb's ears. USDA zones: 4-9Water requirement: Drought tolerantSun requirement: Full sunMature size: 18 inches
Complementary colors (hues from the opposite side of the color wheel) can bring out the best in each other. Here, fiery yellow adds a colorful punch and energizing contrast to cool purple salvia.
