Here's a beautiful sweep of East Friesland salvia, or meadow sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Ostfriesland') in the garden of Master Gardener Diana Tsingopolous at the clay tennis courts along the Hudson River Greenway in Riverside Park.
Compared to some other salvia, East Friesland doesn't re-bloom all that well (deadheading will produce sporadic subsequent flower spikes), but if you have the space to mass it, the initial flush of flowers creates an eye-popping display.
