Caramia Meadow Sage (Salvia nemorosa Caramia) is an improved, high-performance perennial developed to bring even more color and a tidier habit to the garden. This variety is celebrated for producing up to three times more blossoms than older cultivars, featuring dense spikes of deep violet-blue flowers. These vibrant blooms are held on striking, dark purple-to-black stems, creating a sophisticated and high-contrast look that lasts from late spring through fall.

This compact, bushy variety is a champion of the sunny border, maintaining a neat and upright habit that requires very little maintenance. The fragrant, narrow green leaves provide a lush backdrop for the prolific floral display, which is a major draw for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Because it is naturally deer and rabbit resistant and shows excellent drought tolerance once established, it is a professional-grade choice for low-water landscapes and premium patio containers. You will receive a healthy 4" plant, ready to be transplanted into your favorite garden spot.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Maximized Floral Power: Boasts significantly more flowers per plant than standard Meadow Sages for a denser color canopy.
  • Striking Dark Stems: Deep violet blooms are accentuated by nearly black stems, adding depth and drama to the garden.
  • Pollinator Magnet: Highly attractive to beneficial insects, hummingbirds, and butterflies throughout its long bloom season.
  • Compact & Tidy: Maintains a well-branched, bushy shape that is ideal for small spaces, edging, and containers.
  • Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant and resistant to deer; simply shear back after the first flush to encourage a second wave of blooms.

This 4" healthy live plant thrives in full sun and prefers moderate watering in well-drained soil. It is remarkably hardy and adaptable, making it an excellent choice for mass plantings where its color can truly pop. For best results, ensure it is planted in a location with good air circulation and plenty of sunlight. Caramia Meadow Sage is the ultimate choice for the gardener who wants an improved, professional-grade flowering perennial in a convenient 4" size.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
