Woodland Sage
Botanical Name: Salvia nemorosa
Type: Hardy Perennial

Woodland Sage (Salvia nemorosa) is a robust, clump-forming perennial known for its upright spires of violet-blue to deep purple flowers that rise above aromatic, textured foliage. A true pollinator magnet, it blooms from late spring through summer and is a favourite of bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Drought-tolerant and low maintenance, it’s ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife borders, and sunny perennial beds. A strong performer that returns reliably each year with even more blooms.
