About this plant
Salvia nemorosa 'New Dimension Rose' produces dense, upright flower spikes in clear rose-pink tones that bloom from late spring into early summer, often followed by repeat flowering later in the season. The blossoms are accented by deep burgundy calyces that add richness to the overall color effect, while narrow, deep green foliage forms tidy, well-defined clumps beneath the flowers.
'New Dimension Rose' works well in borders, mixed perennial beds, and mass plantings where consistent seasonal color is desired. It also suits container plantings and garden edges, offering dependable performance and a steady rhythm of bloom from late spring onward.
Works well in
Borders · Sun Gardens · Pollinator Gardens · Rock Gardens · Containers
Companion plants
Daylilies · Lavender · Coreopsis · Sedums · Peonies · Coneflowers
Design tip
Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. Give it open sun and room to fill out, and repeat it in threes or fives so the planting reads as one sweep instead of scattered dots.
