Notes
'Rose Queen' sage (Salvia sylvestris 'Rose Queen') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and rock 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 average, sandy soil. Rose pink flowers open in late spring, early to late summer, and early to late autumn. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the fragrant blooms.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Shirley Temple peony, and Blue grama.
