Notes

'Love And Wishes' sage (Salvia 'Love And Wishes') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It makes a dramatic summer planting and produces copious amounts of nectar. Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees visit the magenta blooms. You can overwinter it indoors in a greenhouse, house, or garage. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Purple top, Coneflower, and Anise hyssop.
