I bought this salvia at Lowes two years ago but lost the tag when we moved. I also have a May Night Salvia which flowers nicely but not as much as the first one. I also like it more because it stays more compact than my May Night. Can anyone identify it for me please?

Thanks!

Maybe 'Adora'?

If it sets seed, it could be a form of memerosa called S. superba. There are lots of these forms now.

By the looks of the longer floral spikes the cultivar maybe Caradonna FYI growers still call it Salvia nemorosa
and Rich is right there are lots of forms East Friesland(aka: Ostfriesland),Marcus(Haemanarc PP13322),Amethyst and Blue Hill(Aka:Blauhugel)just to name a few.
