Description
The decorative sage produces upright, deep blue to violet flower spikes that create bold color accents and blooms continuously from July to October. In our climate it is grown as an annual, is drought tolerant, and is an excellent attractant for bees and bumblebees. It looks lovely in beds and containers.
Care instructions
Sow the seeds in early March indoors and transplant after the last frost (mid‑May) to a full‑sun, well‑drained site. Water sparingly; the plant tolerates dry conditions and dislikes waterlogging. Remove spent flower spikes to encourage continuous blooming until frost.
Companion planting
Good neighbours
