Meadow clary, or meadow sage, produces prolific sprays of light violet, purple, pink or off-white flowers in midsummer. Compared with some salvia species, the flowering season is short, but it's all concentrated into one intense session lasting six to eight weeks, when the plants virtually disappear beneath a cloud of large, claw-shaped blooms.

Part of the Ballet Series, Salvia pratensis 'Twilight Serenade' forms a tight rosette of medium green wrinkly leaves, from which deep blue flowers emerge on tall stems. It makes an excellent cut flower. For best results grow 'Twilight Serenade' in a sheltered, sunny spot in moist soil. Prolong flowering time by removing faded blooms.
