Salvia x sylvestris 'May Night'
Choose May Night Sage for sunny, dry-to-average borders where you want early upright purple-blue flower spikes without much watering. The tradeoff: it looks best in groups and needs trimming after bloom to stay tidy.
Buy This If
You want early purple-blue flower spikes.
Your bed runs dry between rains.
You can plant a few together.
Skip This If
The spot stays wet.
You need an evergreen screen.
Deer browsing is a major issue.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The upright flower spikes give strong early-season color, especially when repeated rather than planted singly.
Growth Rate
A-
It settles in quickly for a perennial when placed in a bright, open bed with decent drainage.
Maintenance
B
Deadheading after the first bloom keeps it cleaner and may encourage a lighter repeat.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
A
It fits neatly into smaller perennial beds without overwhelming neighboring plants.
Screening Value
F
It is too low and seasonal to provide privacy or year-round blocking.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend May Night Sage near the front of sunny perennial beds, repeated in small groups, with yarrow, ornamental onion, or catmint nearby to carry the planting after bloom.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it rebloom?
Trim spent spikes after the first flush; you may get a lighter repeat, not a full second show.
Can I cut the flowers?
Yes, cut stems as they open for short indoor arrangements.
Should I plant one or several?
Several; a single plant can look thin, while groups read much better.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
