Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna'

I'm having a Salvia fest, so no apologies for one more photo of these productive, neat pollinators.. love em 💜💚

Looks fab! How many have you got there? 💜💜

3's christine 😊, in 3ft Square. My favourite number 💜 @midnightgardener

One of my favourite salvias I've just ordered serenade variety a bit of a lilac one with dark stems, can never have too many salvias 😍

💜💜💜

I have 2 varieties in groups of 3 initially had trouble distinguishing varieties unfortunately. But fairly certain they're East Friesland and Carradona from salvia nemorosa. 💜💜💜 @Keely @suerichards

Love these 💜

Me too, they're one of the earliest flowering varieties and will go through whole of summer 💜💜 @lovemygarden65

Excellent planting Mark! Next year your socks will be blown off even further than this year! 😎 Another couple of good ones if you're interested are 'Amethyst' and 'Dear Anja' - roughly six months non stop flowering once established 👌 @solly1961

📝 Graham. I'm sure I can fit in another 3 or 6 @gardengimp

You know you want to! 😉😁 @solly1961

My favourite Salvia, excellent pollinators. Never seen so many bumblebees in my garden, what a joy. #foliagefriday

It's lovely Mark 💜💜💜

Thank you Jane 💜 @pelly

I love Salvia's and haven't heard of this one. On my wish list now. I've got a Natchvlinder coming soon I hope 😊😊💜💜

Just googled it, looks a stunner, Velvet-like plum-purple petals. Nice.. Looking forward to seeing it when arrives. @midnightgardener

@solly1961 Me too Mark and it's good pairing it with roses. Sarah Raven says under planting it with a Rose keeps black spot away. When I saw it in her brochure I thought it would look great with my Freddie Mercury rose 👑♥️♥️💜💜

Sure would, didn't know that about warding off black spot. But noted. Thanks @midnightgardener

Just out this week, beautiful tall stems with delicate 💜 flowers, showing its true beauty under its hairy support #macro #salviaeastfriesland

Beautiful 💜💜💜

Love Salvias 💜

Great pic 💜

😊 thanks @pelly @lovemygarden65 @Keely, the more i look at it the more beauty it shows. Bees 🐝 eye view..
