Salvia de jardín

Salvia nemorosa
Perenne herbácea de porte compacto, perteneciente a la familia de las mentas (Lamiaceae), nativa de Europa y Asia centro-occidental. NC State Extension describe una planta erguida y ramificada de aproximadamente 1.5-3 feet de altura y hasta 2 feet de ancho, con hojas aromáticas arrugadas, dentadas y de color verde grisáceo, y densas espigas de flores entre lavanda y violeta-azul (algunas variedades rosas) de junio a septiembre. Florece en oleadas — cortar los tallos agotados hasta las hojas basales provoca una nueva tanda de flores — y es tolerante a la sequía, resistente al ciervo y al conejo, y un imán para abejas, mariposas y colibríes. Una planta de trabajo fiable y de bajo mantenimiento para bordes soleados y plantaciones de polinizadores.

Cold hardiness

Future
These values are location-based: this location's current hardiness is the baseline, and the 2050 value is a projected future climate for this same location.
Now
Zone 6b
USDA
Published baseline for this location from 1991-2020.

Well-suited
2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.

Heat tolerance

Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
