Salvia nemorosa 'East Friesland'
- With its indigo flower spikes and compact nature, is it any wonder that 'East Friesland' is one of our favourite salvias? Heck, it's one of our favourite plants full stop.
- This woodland sage was first bred and introduced in Germany back in the 1960s, and thanks to its long flowering season, vivid blooms and rugged nature, quickly became popular.
- A contained, bushy habit makes this plant the ideal pick for container-growing on a sunny patio, balcony or terrace.
- Salvias are on the RHS Plants for Pollinators list, thanks to their appeal to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
- 'East Friesland' is a recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, indicating its stellar performance in British gardens.
