Appearance
It is an attractive plant that is easy to grow and propagate, with the result that it has been passed around by gardeners for many years. Its wide distribution, long history, and the ease with which it hybridizes have resulted in many cultivars and hybrids—along with problems in clearly identifying the hybrids and their relationship with ''S. nemorosa''. It was named and described by Carl Linnaeus in 1762, with ''nemorosa'' referring to its typical habitat in groves and woods.The many inflorescences have closely spaced whorls of small flowers with brightly colored calyces.
Status
In northern Britain, ''Salvia nemorosa'' and ''Salvia pratensis'' are both in danger of disappearing due to depredation from slugs.References:
