Notes
'Evolution' mealycup sage (Salvia farinacea 'Evolution') is an annual for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall in a clumping habit. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms. It is drought tolerant, so it suits low maintenance beds. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Cosmos, Coneflower, First Knight fountain grass, and Snapdragon.
