Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

An outstanding variety of Meadow sage, May Night has a compact growing habit, and profuse deep-purple flower spikes. The heaviest flush of flowers occurs in May, but it blooms off and on all summer. Deadheading encourages heavier re-blooming (see Guide). Deer and rabbit resistant. A wonderful cut flower. Grows 15 to 18 inches tall and 18 inches wide. Can be seen in the Washington Square Demonstration Garden.
