‘Swan Lake’
at Digging Dog
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..

After years of breeding, Jelitto Seeds has just recently introduced this pure white Salvia. Rich green
foliage with a wrinkled texture and ruffled margins forms a lush, leafy mound beneath the upstanding snowy spikes. Each delicate, luminous flower nestles in a calyx on a tiny pedestal of small green bracts.
Showy ‘Swan Lake’s species name translates as “growing in meadows,” referring
to its sunny native European haunts. A natural for relaxed garden settings amid grasses, it easily accepts varied conditions, especially cold temperatures. Zone 3/4.
Blooms June–August. Size: 20" high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 4. Salvia pratensis Swan Lake (p-1283)
