Salvia

Sage

Thought in ancient times to perpetuate good health, an Arab proverb asks, “How shall a man die with sage in his garden?” Our Salvias are diverse perennials, shrubs or subshrubs. Many of them hail from the Mediterranean, Mexico and South America.

Drought tolerant, reliable once established, and generally pest and disease free, they combine an array of flowers and aromatic foliage in many different sizes, shapes, and hues..

Salvia nemorosa ‘Plumosa’ 

Distinguished by its unique, Astilbe-like plumes, this floriferous, recently rediscovered Salvia delivers eye catching appeal to the edge of the border. With a chenille velvet texture, the dusky mulberry-purple flowers top aromatic, lance-shaped foliage, and look outstanding in arrangements, fresh or dried. ‘Plumosa’s compact, bushy form and vivid, dense blooms are a good match for Veronica ‘Royal Candles’ and Achillea ‘Marmalade’.

Blooms July–September.

Size: 18" high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 4.
