Salvia x sylvestris 'Schneehügel'

Salvia x sylvestris ‘Schneehügel’ is a striking, compact salvia for the herbaceous border, producing masses of flower stems topped by spikes of pure white flowers from early to midsummer.

Unlike many salvias, Salvia x sylvestris ‘Schneehügel’ is fully hardy. The felty leaves are finely toothed with pronounced veining. It can either be grown among other upright plants, or be used to contrast with more angular, architectural groupings. It looks particularly good planted next to shrubs and perennials with dark or silver leaves.

For best results, grow Salvia x sylvestris ‘Schneehügel’ in full sun or light shade in moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Cut back the flower spikes as they fade to promote further blooms.
