Sage 'Nachtvlinder' is a bushy plant and grows to approximately 1m tall and 1m wide. As an example of a salvia, this is an excellent large variety and is a fabulous plant in its own right. It has leaves with a minty aroma and pea like blooms turning to a deep purple. Sage 'Nachtvlinder' is a native of Mexico, and thus prefers warmer climates than we traditionally experience in the UK. However, Sage 'Nachtvlinder', can still thrive here if given protection from cold and excessive wet in the winter.
Sage 'Nachtvlinder' will flower from spring through to early autumn, and although Frost Hardy it may be a good idea to take cuttings if you live in the far North in case of a a severe winter.

The Ideal time for cutting back flowering shrub sages, is the spring once new growth can be seen from the base and risk of frost has past. Cut up to half the plant back shaping as needed.
