Sage
Salvia sylvestris Rose Queen
An abundance of long, spectacular, pinky-purple flower spikes with an upright, slender appearance are produced across the whole plant from June to July. This is a tall, easy-to-grow variety with healthy, lance-shaped, fresh green leaves which possess a strong, pleasant aromatic scent. Perfect for filling in the gaps left by spring-flowering plants, it is great for attracting wildlife like bees and butterflies to the garden and makes a great choice for naturalising a bed or border.

Dead head faded blooms promptly to prolong the flowering period and cut back any straggly foliage after flowering to maintain a neat appearance.Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 1 or 2 litre plants and adjust the price down accordingly.
