Salvia pratensis 'Swan Lake'

An upright, clump-forming herbaceous perennial. It typically reaches 50-70 cm (20-28 inches) in height and 30-40 cm (12-16 inches) in spread.

Features textured, basal rosettes of mid-green, ovate leaves.

Produces numerous spikes of densely packed, pure white flowers. It blooms profusely from early to mid-summer (June-July), with potential rebloom if deadheaded.

Thrives best in full sun for optimal flowering and robust growth.

Excellent (USDA Zones 3-8), very cold-hardy.

Prefers well-drained, average to fertile soil. It tolerates various soil types, including sandy or loamy.

Has a medium water requirement. It's moderately drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering during dry spells.

Ideal for perennial borders, cottage gardens, mass plantings, or containers. Excellent for attracting bees and butterflies and providing vertical interest.

Low maintenance. Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage tidiness and potential rebloom. A cutback after the first flush can promote bushier growth.

Best planted in autumn or early spring.
