Create a vibrant haven for pollinators and add gentle movement to borders with salvia verticillata 'Purple Rain', a hardy perennial that delights with rich purple blooms atop tall reddish stems throughout summer. Forming soft mounds of mid-green foliage, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering impressive drought tolerance once established and minimal maintenance for weeks of colour. Loved by bees and butterflies, it's perfect for softening path edges, filling gaps or pairing with ornamental grasses for a relaxed, naturalistic look inspired by prairie planting.
