Violet Sage (Salvia Nemorosa) 50 seeds (#2391)

The colorful flower spikes of meadow sage cannot be beat. They offer easy summer color to sunny perennial borders and pair well with many other garden ornamentals. This bushy, multi-stemmed herbaceous perennial originates from Europe to Central Asia and comprises many popular cultivars sold widely in the trade.
The vigorous but tame, woodland sage bears upright spikes of flowers that appear in early summer and will rebloom if deadheaded. The plentiful blooms may be purple, violet-blue, rose-pink or white and appear over crinkly, slightly aromatic, dull green leaves. These flowers are highly attractive to bees and will even draw the occasional butterfly.
Woodland sage is not too soil picky. It will thrive in average soil, if well-drained not too acid, and can even tolerate periods of drought once well established. If subjected to excessive soil moisture, it may suffer root rot. Full sun is a must for good flowering. It is ideal for cottage gardens or sunny perennial borders.
