Woodland Sage 140MM

Salvia nemorosa 'Mighty Series'

I am Woodland Sage. My family originated from Central europe & west asia.

Habit Shrub - Bird and bee attracting
Plant family Laminacae
I am have both striking beauty and am particularly hardy with my masses of upright blooms. My blooms come in hues of deep purple, blue, pink, or white, creating a mesmerizing display from late spring through summer. My leaves give off a gentle scent when touched. I thrive in sunny locations and well-drained soil, though I can tolerate a range of conditions. My drought tolerance makes me a reliable choice for gardeners in dry climates. I am a good choice for poor soils. I attract butterflies, bees, and nectar feeding birds. Low growing to about 50cm I am a great way to bring structure and colour to borders, rock gardens, and wildflower meadows. Pair me with other sun-loving plants to create contrast. Removing my spent blooms will encourage repeat flowering. Low-maintenance once established, I require minimal care beyond occasional pruning to keep me tidy. I am winter dormant and tolerate frosts and snow.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I produce a stunning display in vibrant deep purple, blue, pink or white hues

Plant me in borders, beside paths and entrances to best appreciate fragrant foliage
