{"product_id":"violet-profusion-salvia-bare-root-plant","title":"Violet Profusion Salvia - Bare Root Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eViolet Profusion is a compact salvia with violet-blue flowers held in rosy purple calyxes, a rich two-tone color up close. It blooms from late spring into early summer and will rebloom several times if you shear off the spent stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts dense, rounded habit about 15 inches tall makes it easy to tuck into the front of a border or to plant in a row as an edger. Bees and butterflies visit steadily, and the aromatic leaves deter deer and rabbits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany slender, upright flower spikes 3 to 5 inches long lined with small two-lipped florets in violet-blue, set in rosy purple calyxes. The spikes are densely packed and evenly cover the top of the plant. Leaves are lance-shaped, 1.5 to 2.5 inches long, green, aromatic and crinkled. The plant is a dense, rounded dome 14 to 16 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide. At peak it looks like a tidy cushion of violet spires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalvia wants the same full sun and lean, well-drained soil as lavender, and its upright spikes echo lavender's form while filling the gap before and after the main lavender bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in average, well-drained soil; it is drought tolerant once established. Hardy in zones 3-8; each time the spikes fade, shear the plant back by about a third and it will bloom again, often several times through summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salvia nemorosa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Violet-blue with rosy purple calyxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, rounded dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14–16 in tall × 16–20 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repeat Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25).
