Salvia verticillata ‘Purple Rain’ is a stunning perennial known for its striking, tall spikes of deep purple flowers that bloom profusely from all summer. This variety of whorled sage stands out for its dense, upright growth habit and vibrant floral display. Reaching a height of up to 75cm, and spreading to 50cm, it is an excellent choice for adding vertical interest to garden borders and containers, in both modern and cottage gardens planting styles. The aromatic, lance-shaped leaves of ‘Purple Rain’ provide a soft contrast to its bold blooms, and they release a pleasant fragrance when brushed or crushed. A hardy, herbaceous perennial which thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, preferring a dry to moderately moist environment once established. It is highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to any pollinator friendly garden. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, Salvia verticillata ‘Purple Rain’ is ideal for gardeners looking for long-lasting colour, fragrance, and wildlife support throughout the summer months.
