Salvia Caradonna, 5L Fashion and Design Books Cotswold house hunter Katy CampbellSalvia Caradonna is a hardy perennial sage with small violet blue flowers in racemes on slender, upright purple spikes all summer, soaring above a bushy clump of narrow, rough grey green aromatic foliage. The flowers are attractive to butterflies and excellent for cutting. An invaluable plant for the early to mid summer border.
