Notes
'Alklf' sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Alklf') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It forms a clumping, fragrant mound that tolerates drought. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan, Little bluestem, and Jeana garden phlox.
