Salvia nemorosa 'Rosakönigin'

An upright, bushy, clump-forming herbaceous perennial. It typically reaches 40-50 cm (16-20 inches) in height and 30-40 cm (12-16 inches) in spread, forming a neat mound.

Features aromatic, textured, grey-green foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season.

Produces numerous upright spikes of densely packed, small, vibrant rose-pink flowers held above purplish bracts. It blooms profusely from late spring through late summer (May to September), with deadheading encouraging rebloom.

Thrives best in full sun for optimal flowering and compact growth. It can tolerate very light partial shade, but flowering may be reduced.

Excellent (USDA Zones 4-9), making it very cold-hardy and adaptable to a wide range of climates.

Prefers well-drained, average to fertile soil. It is highly tolerant of various soil types, including sandy or loamy, and is drought-tolerant once established.

Has a low to medium water requirement. It is quite drought-tolerant once mature but benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.

Ideal for perennial borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, mass plantings, or containers. Its upright habit and long bloom time make it excellent for providing continuous color and attracting bees and butterflies.

Low maintenance. Deadhead spent flower spikes regularly to promote continuous blooming. A light shearing after the first flush of flowers can encourage a bushier habit and more rebloom.

Best planted in autumn or early spring.
