In the high heat of the summer, cool tones in the garden are a refreshing visual treat. Use the jewel tones of rich blue flower spikes of May Night Salvia (Salvia x sylvestris 'Mainacht') to create a marvelous respite.

This easy-care hybrid perennial begs to be used as a winding rich blue ribbon at the edge of your garden walkways and borders. The flowers bloom from late spring onward. Glowing purple stems are loaded with spires of violet-purple flowers that can bloom and rebloom from late spring throughout the summer into fall. May Night flowers feature a depth of color that draws your eye.

This is one of the most popular flowers for butterflies. They will flock to your planting to access an easy nectar feast. Butterflies will enliven your Salvia planting and add color and a delightful sense of motion to your landscape! With its blue-gray, lance-shaped aromatic foliage, May Night makes an attractive accent all summer long. It stays in excellent compact form.

May Night Salvia is a low-maintenance plant that is disease and pest-free. It is a strikingly upright plant with a compact form. You'll adore its high performance and great looks! Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8, these plants grow 18 inches when in bloom and spread about as wide or wider once mature.

Planting and Application:

Use May Night to create interest along a walkway. Simply brushing against the textured foliage releases an herbal fragrance that lingers in the air. They are perhaps at their best when multiple plants are used in mass. After all, you want to see a lot of those beautiful rich blue flower spikes. Plant them as a long, low-edging plant in borders.

This is the perfect plant for home garden perennial gardens or as a mass-fill plant in a commercial landscape. To create a solid low border for edging, plant 2 feet apart on center. You'll measure from the center of one to the center of the next. Mass plantings can be created using a series of zig-zagging staggered rows. Mulch between plants and keep new plantings weeded.

Another way to use this beauty is to create long, skinny drifts near the front of your perennial border. Start with a single plant on either end, then use 2 or 3 plants deep near the center of the drift. Vary the plant spacing from 2 to 4 feet for the most natural results.

Use it to counteract bold shades of other perennials. It coordinates beautifully with just about any hue, from white to yellow to orange, red, and shades of pink. In the ground and in containers and planters, Salvia looks great in any sunny garden!

Use taller perennials or short shrubs as a backdrop and plant groundcover Sedum in front. This deliciously textured look adds season-long interest. You'll love feeding the butterflies and creating a personal oasis for yourself and your family! Your mixed perennial garden gains a dark counterpoint, and creates depth in the Cottage Garden, and even shines in the xeric Rock Garden.

May Night Salvia can be used as a Filler in large container gardens on the patio or porch. Or, try them all by themselves in smaller pots. You'll need to water containers regularly, especially in hot weather. Make sure you cut blooms to bring inside. May Night Salvia blooms are excellent tall and slender cut flower accents! May Night Salvia has a high value for wildlife. It's simply a magnet for butterflies and Hummingbirds, as well as other beneficial insects. Yet, deer tend to leave it alone.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Give these perennials full sun exposure with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. It needs well-drained soil, but May Night is not particular about soil type or soil pH. A 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the root systems helps to keep them moist and cool and extends the time between watering. Give new plants a moderate amount of water on a regular basis.

Once their roots are established in your native soil, this plant becomes a low-water user. Automatic drip irrigation systems can be your best friend in these situations! However, if you experience an extended period of drought, it's best to provide regular watering. You'll want to protect your investment, after all.

In containers, plant using average potting soil such as Dr. Earth Mother Land Premium Organic All Purpose Planting Mix. To increase bloom time, Salvia should be deadheaded after the first blooms begin to fade. At this time, it can be clipped back hard to rejuvenate the foliage and encourage continuous summer blooming.

  • Thrives in Sun, Heat & Humidity
  • Drought Tolerant Once Established
  • Any Well-Drained Soil Type
  • Prune Back Late Winter or Early Spring
  • Deadhead To Encourage New Blooms Spring til Fall
  • Deer Resistant, Easy To Grow Perennials

Good choice to teach kids to be well-mannered at Memorial Day.
Format: Hardcover
The book starts with the 13 colonies each with their own flag. Then it discusses the Revolutionary war and the story of Betsy Ross with the qualifier that It says no one really knows who sewed the first flag. Then it discusses Francis Scott Key and the bombardment of Fort McHenry. Then how a star is added for each state added to the union. Mentions the Civil War and raising the flag on Iwo Jima. After that it has two pages on protocol for displaying and honoring the flag, and gives the pledge of allegiance. It is a good choice to teach kids to be well-mannered at parades and Memorial Day services. The cover art depicts a series of historical flags, not all of which are mentioned in the book which raises the question “Why?”. Starting at the back is the red Saint George’s Cross on a white field. Saint George the dragon slayer is the patron saint of England. The plain cross without the centered crown is the flag of England. This flag is shown on page 2 as the flag of one of the colonies but it doesn’t say which. In front of that is the flag of Maryland Colony which is still used as their state flag. Next in line is the coiled rattle snake Don’t Tread on Me flag. According to my Compton’s Encyclopedia, this originated with Esek Hopkins the first US Navy commander in chief and was used from 1776 to 1778. Colonel Christopher Gadsden presented a copy of this flag to the South Carolina legislature, so it is often referred to as the Gadsden flag but this is incorrect. The rattle snake image was used in 1775 by the minute men of Culpepper County Virginia. The image was widespread in the revolution and may have been used earlier than that. The snake is portrayed with 13 rattles, one for each colony. Rattle snakes will not initiate an attack on humans as we are too big to eat, but if stepped on they will counter attack and can be deadly. The point of the image is that the colonists did not want war, but would not tolerate abuse. (There is a rumor that this flag is connected to the slave trade, but Hopkins was from Rhode Island which was not part of the Confederacy, and I have not found any evidence to support this rumor). Next is the flag of New England which has the Saint George cross with a Pine Tree on a blue field. This flag was used at the battle of Bunker Hill. Normally the New England flag has a red field, but blue was substituted because the red caused confusion with the British Royal Navy ensign which has a Union Jack in the top left on a red field. Naval ensigns are designed to be highly visible at distance or in the smoke of battle. The bright red field is more visible than the Union Jack alone. The Union Jack is the national flag of the United Kingdom. Next is the Union Jack on a field of thirteen stripes. This is the first flag of the thirteen colonies. It was used in 1775 and 1776 as the flag of the continental army and navy but never officially adopted. Next is the Betsy Ross flag, followed by the Fort McHenry flag, and the modern flag. I hope this helps.
