Even experts in plant taxonomy have a difficult time with "May Night" salvia plants. You'll encounter all of the following scientific names:
* Salvia x superba 'May Night'
* Salvia x superba 'Mainacht' (its name in Germany, where the plant began)
* Salvia x sylvestris 'May Night'
* Salvia nemorosa 'May Night'
As if all that weren't confusing enough, nemorosa is frequently misspelled as nemerosa. Nemorosa is a Latin adjective deriving from nemus, meaning "forest."

Thanks Paul from Alabama. Love your website/blog, especially all those "before" pictures. I wish I took the time to do that more often.
