| Botanical Name | Salvia x sylvestris 'Mainacht' |
| Description | 'May Night' is a rugged and reliable performer for the Houston metro area, celebrated for its long-lasting, intense purple blooms. While it is quite adaptable, it is highly sensitive to "wet feet." In our region, it performs best when planted in well-drained soil or raised beds to prevent root rot during heavy rain cycles. It is exceptionally heat-tolerant and provides excellent vertical texture in sunny borders. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for best flowering) |
| Height x Width | 18-24 in. Tall x 12-18 in. Wide |
| Water | Low to Moderate; once established, it is very drought tolerant. |
| Zones | 4 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears. |
| Pruning | Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage a second flush of blooms in late summer. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
