'Violet Queen' is a classic cultivar of the hybrid meadow sage (Salvia × superba), known for its intensely saturated violet-blue flower spikes that rise above a mound of wrinkled, aromatic foliage. It is a sturdy, long-lived perennial that blooms heavily in early summer, with a lighter rebloom if deadheaded. Its rich color and reliable performance have made it a garden staple for decades.
