Salvia ‘Nachtvlinder’ - A jewel in the garden
Salvia ‘Nachtvlinder’, also known as sage ‘Nachtfalter’ or peach sage, is an unusual ornamental plant that no garden should be without. With its intense purple flowers and characteristic fragrance, it not only attracts attention, but also attracts numerous pollinators such as bees, butterflies and bumblebees. This sage variety impresses with its robustness and long flowering period, which lasts from June until late autumn. It brings colour and life to any garden landscape.
Location and care - how Salvia ‘Nachtvlinder’ thrives optimally
Salvia ‘Nachtfalter’ prefers sunny locations with well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. A slightly sandy substrate is ideal to avoid waterlogging, as this can damage the roots. The plant is fairly easy to care for and copes well with dry periods, making it a perfect choice for low-maintenance gardens. Nevertheless, it will reward occasional watering in particularly hot summer months with more abundant flowering.
In spring, the sage should be pruned back slightly to encourage compact growth and stimulate flower formation. Further pruning after the first flowering can also stimulate a second flowering period in late summer.
Perfect planting partners for a harmonious garden look
Salvia ‘Nachtvlinder’ combines wonderfully with other perennials to create a harmonious and lively look in the garden. It looks particularly beautiful in combination with grasses such as lamp grass or blue fescue, which emphasise its delicate flowers. It also creates an appealing play of colours in combination with roses, lavender and echinacea, transforming the garden into a blooming oasis. Sage ‘Nachtfalter’ is an excellent addition to Mediterranean gardens and perfectly complements herbs such as thyme and rosemary.
A convincing fragrance
The plant is not only a visual highlight, but also impresses with its pleasant fragrance, which is particularly intense when the leaves are lightly crushed.
With Salvia ‘Nachtvlinder’, you can bring a real all-rounder into your garden that will win you over with its beauty, fragrance and versatility.
