Salvia nipponica var. Formosana - Formosan Woodland Sage

(Formosan Woodland Sage or Tai wan qin zhu cao) A hardy, shade & moisture loving Salvia from the island of Taiwan, this special plant grows well even in hot and humid climates. Rich yellow flowers over a long season compliment the arrow shaped leaves that are deep green above and hairy purple below.

This herbaceous perennial forms dense clumps and spreads very gently. The combination of rich green & purple leaves, and yellow flowers make it a bright spot in a woodland garden.

Grow this plant in rich, moist soil - and expect to be delighted!

And if that's not enough, this is an important anti-inflammatory herb in traditional Chinese herbal medicine.

These are large second year plants that will bloom this season.
