East Friesland Meadow Sage 1 Live Plant – Salvia nemorosa ‘East Friesland’ – Quart Pot

East Friesland Meadow Sage (Salvia nemorosa ‘East Friesland’) is a compact, herbaceous perennial recognized for its rich violet-purple flower spikes and aromatic green foliage. Also known by the cultivar name ‘Ostfriesland’, this ornamental salvia produces dense clusters of small, tubular flowers on upright stems, creating a colorful display above its textured leaves.

The plant develops a bushy, clump-forming habit that makes it suitable for perennial borders, cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and mixed flower beds. Its flowers typically appear from late spring through summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and other visiting pollinators. The vivid purple flower spikes provide vertical contrast among lower-growing garden plants.

This listing includes one live East Friesland Meadow Sage in a quart-size nursery pot (QT). The plant performs best in full sun and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture during establishment. Established plants can tolerate some dry conditions. As a herbaceous perennial, it may arrive dormant, recently trimmed, or with reduced foliage depending on the season.
