✂️ Care
Light pruning in spring encourages a compact form and denser flowering. Regularly remove spent flowers to extend the flowering period until the first frosts.
Water moderately during the growing season; this sage is very drought-tolerant once established. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot. Light mulch helps retain moisture during dry periods.
Ideal for borders, sunny beds, butterfly gardens, and natural landscapes, this vigorous sage offers abundant and prolonged flowering while being easy to care for and low-maintenance.
