Notes
'East Friesland' sage (Salvia nemorosa 'East Friesland') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. 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 browse other plants first. It grows in a clumping form and has fragrant leaves and flowers. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit it, and it handles dry spells well.
