Bumbleberry Salvia (Salvia nemorosa 'Bumbleberry') is a compact powerhouse from the popular "Bumble" series, specifically bred for smaller gardens and premium containers. This variety features an explosion of vibrant, dark fuchsia-pink flower spikes held in dark purple calyxes. The result is a dual-toned effect that makes the plant look incredibly rich and textured. It is one of the most prolific bloomers in the world of perennial sage.

As a hardy member of the Salvia genus, 'Bumbleberry' forms a dense, tidy mound of rugose, aromatic green leaves. It is a "cut-and-come-again" plant; if you shear it back after the first flush, it will quickly re-bloom, providing color from late spring through late summer. Why you’ll love it: Intense fuchsia-pink color, ultra-compact habit perfect for small spaces, and a top-tier pollinator plant that honeybees absolutely adore.

Product Details: This Bumbleberry Salvia is delivered as an established 4-inch live plant in a nursery pot. It stays compact at 10-12 inches tall and is very cold-hardy.
