Salvia guaranitica 'Omaha Gold' - Variegated Anise leaf Sage

(Variegated Anise leaf Sage) One of the larger varieties of this species, it is wise to give this variety some support especially in windy areas. Planted at the base of a climbing rose, it will pop out with its fascinating leaves and always great flowers.

This is an excellent candidate for a container in a protected area as it tends to be a little more tender, a little less vigorous than other guaraniticas. Lovely cobalt blue flowers will cover this beautiful and fast growing variety from Summer through Fall and beyond where mild weather predominates.

When new growth begins in early Spring, cut the old growth down to the ground for a more pleasing shape and a more profuse bloom. The nomenclature of this plant is confusing.

Some say it is a hybrid, some a sport of 'Costa Rica Blue'. Of course, some say 'Costa Rica Blue' is a hybrid. Go figure. In any case, this is one of the finest Salvias we have ever seen.

Salvia guaranitica 'Purple Majesty'

(Purple Majesty Anise Scented Sage) This highly adaptable, exceedingly long blooming herbaceous perennial begins to show color in early Summer and continues until frost renders it inactive. There are a number of varieties of this dependable and long cultivated species, with the above named cultivar being our current favorite due to it’s stunning large and profuse deep purple blooms and it’s lush, vibrant mint green foliage.

The upright habit and long inflorescence (8“-12”) of this beauty make it an obvious choice for the back of the boarder. Plants should be pruned nearly to the ground in late Winter to maintain a tidy, shapely appearance and to encourage vigorous new growth in the Spring.
