Notes
'Pink Sunday' sage (Salvia viridis 'Pink Sunday') is an annual for borders, containers, and xeriscape beds. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the summer blooms. It is drought tolerant, so it needs little care once settled. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Purple top, Cosmos, Black-eyed Susan, and Zinnia.
