Caradonna Perennial Sage is a stunning ornamental herb that adds vertical interest and vibrant color to any garden setting. Its deep purple stems hold masses of intense violet-blue flower spikes that bloom from late spring through summer. This award-winning cultivar stands out for its particularly dark stems and more upright habit compared to other salvias.
Caradonna Sage is remarkably low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. Cut back stems by one-third after the first flush of flowers to promote a second bloom. In late fall, cut plants back to about 6 inches above ground level. This sage is deer and rabbit resistant, making it an excellent choice for problem areas.
Plant in spring or early fall in well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for mature spread. Apply a light layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
