7 Perennial Salvia Varieties to Grow in Virginia

Posted on

Perennial salvias, or Meadow Sage are a standout choice for sunny gardens in the Mid-Atlantic, offering vibrant color and lasting blooms from spring into summer. These hardy plants, related to catmint and bee balm, are prized for their deer-resistant qualities, thanks to their fragrant flower stalks.

While traditional salvias are known for their rich purple blossoms, newer varieties now include elegant white and pink options. Perfect as a colorful accent, salvias complement bright yellow perennials like coreopsis, creating a lively and dynamic garden display.
