East Friesland Meadow Sage (SALVIA X S. H. EAST FRIESLAND) - 1 gallon

If you want a perennial that delivers relentless summer color without demanding your constant attention, East Friesland Meadow Sage is a brilliant choice for your landscape. This hardworking plant pushes up dense, violet-purple flower spikes from early summer right through to autumn, creating a stunning visual anchor in your perennial borders. It is an absolute magnet for local pollinators, drawing hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies into your yard while you enjoy the show from the patio. The best part is how easily it thrives in our intense mountain sun, asking for very little water once it establishes a deep root system.

Growing into a neat, compact mound about 18 to 24 inches tall and wide, it fits perfectly along the front of garden beds, bordering walkways, or tucked into rock gardens. You will want to plant this sage in a spot that receives full sun to ensure the strongest stems and the most abundant blooms. Because the crinkled foliage is highly aromatic, it has a built-in natural defense mechanism that makes it completely resistant to browsing deer and hungry rabbits. Just give the plant a light shear after its first major flush of flowers fades, and it will reward you with a second brilliant wave of deep purple color late in the season.
