Notes
'Sage of Bath' sage (Salvia officinalis 'Sage of Bath') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It forms a mounding, fragrant clump with pink flowers from late spring into summer. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Casa Blanca lily, and Eden rose.
