Salvia nemerosa ‘Caramia’ is an improvement upon ‘Caradonna’ with a more compact habit and three times as many blooms! Inflorescence of neat and tidy spires of purple stems, purple buds and purple flowers. It is strongly upright and structural in the garden as long as soils are not too rich or the light too low. It blooms over an extended period and will rebloom with deadheading. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
