Description
Salvia 'Purple Knockout'
New for 2021!
Salvia lyrata 'Purple Knockout'. Grown mainly for the foliage, 'Purple Knockout' has compact basal rosettes of shiny burgundy leaves that turn to deep purple in summer, then to red in the fall. Spikes of pale lilac-blue flowers appear in spring and summer. S. lyrata is native to the wood's edge, thickets and tall meadows of the eastern US. It prefers average to wet, clay or sandy soils in full sun. Drought and humidity tolerant. Cut back flower stalks if no petals appear and it will rebloom. In colder climates, Salvia lyrata prefers free draining soils with gravel or sand - too much soil moisture can result in winter losses. A self-seeder.
MATURE HEIGHT: 18".
MATURE SPREAD: 12".
HARDINESS ZONES: 5,6,7,8,9.
FLOWER: Early season.
SUN EXPOSURE: Full sun to part sun.
