I have May Night - would have to look for a photo. There are probably many in Plant Files. I love the color. What I don't like is that, with many Salvias, as the bloom fades, the flower spikes flop to the outside leaving a big ugly 'bald spot' (spoken as someone who shaves his head!). Deadheading helps to some degree but I would look for ones that have a more upright habit. For that reason alone, I am surprised May Night won Perennial of the Year a few years back. Here's another one I have that I like that does not flop - called 'Caradonna'.
