Salvia nemorosa 'Mainacht' - Award-Winning Perennial Bulk Pack
The Salvia nemorosa 'Mainacht' (also known as May Night Sage or Wood Sage) is an award-winning perennial plant recognized for its intense deep violet-blue flower spikes. This bulk pack of 40 plants delivers exceptional value for gardeners planning large borders, mass plantings, or wildlife gardens.
Flowering and Growth
This clump-forming perennial produces dense spikes of deep violet-purple flowers from May through September. The dark green, aromatic foliage forms neat mounds that provide structure throughout the growing season. Plants reach 10-25cm at delivery and mature to 30-50cm in height with a spread of 30-45cm. The violet-blue flowers emerge from nearly black stems and calyces, creating dramatic contrast in garden displays.
Wildlife and Pollinator Benefits
Salvia nemorosa 'Mainacht' attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout its extended blooming period. The nectar-rich flowers provide vital food sources for pollinators from late spring through early autumn, making this an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens and pollinator corridors.
Growing Conditions
This hardy perennial thrives in full sun positions with well-drained soil. Once established, it demonstrates excellent drought tolerance and requires minimal maintenance. Suitable for USDA zones 4-8, it withstands temperatures down to -30°F (-34°C). The plant prefers moderately fertile, humus-rich soil but adapts to various soil types including sandy, loam, and chalk.
Care and Maintenance
Deadheading spent flower spikes encourages continuous blooming and may produce a second flush of flowers in late summer or early autumn. Regular removal of faded blooms maintains tidy appearance and prolongs the flowering season. Water thoroughly during establishment, then reduce watering as the plant's drought tolerance develops.
Planting and Uses
Space plants 30-45cm apart for optimal growth. Ideal applications include herbaceous borders, cottage gardens, perennial beds, pathway edging, mass plantings, and container arrangements. The upright flower spikes provide vertical interest and work beautifully alongside roses, coneflowers, yarrow, and ornamental grasses.
