Notes
'Tucarink' sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Tucarink') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage 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 moist, sandy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It forms a clumping mound and gives off a fragrant scent. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Standing Ovation little bluestem, Sundrops, and Bobo hydrangea.
