Add a splash of color to your garden and patio a month earlier with Salvia ‘April Night’. Blooming a full month ahead of the popular ‘May Night’, this variety features a denser habit and much sturdier stems. Despite its early start, ‘April Night’ doesn’t fizzle out. It will continu to dazzle with deep blue flower spikes through early June and into July. Its strong stems support a vibrant display of blue-purple blooms, making it perfect for borders or mass plantings.
