Why You’ll Love It

Salvia ‘Ostfriesland’ is celebrated for its long flowering period and striking deep violet-blue blooms. Its compact, bushy habit makes it perfect for the front or middle of borders, repeated drifts, or container planting. Low-maintenance and resilient, it thrives in sunny gardens, tolerates heat and light frost, and attracts pollinators.

Planting & Care Tips

• Plant in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil

• Water regularly during establishment, then reduce once settled

• Deadhead spent flowers to encourage ongoing blooms

• Lightly prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape

• Mulch lightly to retain moisture and protect roots
