Notes

'Evening Attire' meadow sage (Salvia pratensis 'Evening Attire') is a perennial with blue flowers on dense spikes. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. Blooms appear from early to late summer and again in early to mid autumn. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The flowers draw hummingbirds and bees.

Pairs well with Arizona Sun blanket flower, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Showy milkweed.
