Salvia Species, Baby Sage, Wild Sage (Salvia macrophylla)
Big, honking leaves on this grand & stately Salvia provide a very tropical effect.
Lovely mid-blue flowers with showy lime green calyxes appear above the leaves throughout the growing season & are reason enough to grow the plant.
Everybody & every garden needs some big, luxurious, tropical-looking leaves like these – so useful for visual balance – especially us cottage gardeners with all of our bouncy blooms!
Long blooming & well displayed, the flowers appear on upright branching stems Summer thru Fall. Fast & easy in rich, composty soil. Cut back to 8” tall in Winter for fresh new growth each season.
