Violet Riot Salvia — Color Spires Perennial Salvia (Salvia nemorosa 'Violet Riot') · 1.5 Gal

Violet Riot blooms its heart out from late spring into summer — and a quick midsummer shear brings a whole second wave of color.

It sends up dense spikes of rich violet-purple over a tidy, upright mound — about 22" tall — and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds work it all season long. It's a Color Spires® selection from Proven Winners: easy, aromatic, and bred to bloom hard and rebloom again and again. (That aromatic foliage is also why deer and rabbits leave it alone.)

Easy rule for our Northern Virginia gardens: full sun and well-drained soil — it's adaptable about soil type and drought-tolerant once established. Hardy in zones 3–8, so in our 7b it's a true perennial that comes back year after year.
