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.
Grow in full sun and well drained soil. Though it can go with very little water, periodic watering will ensure more dependable repeat blooming. On the other hand, if it likes where it is planted, it will go to seed and you can have more lovely blue blooms.
