Salvia przewalskii var. mandarinorum

(Dan-shen Gansu) A lovely and very hardy herbaceous perennial Sage from the mountains of Central China, this variety is noted for its handsome leaves - large and wrinkled yellow-green above and densely tomentose rusty brown on the underside. Growing into a large basal rosette of leaves up to three feet across, this traditional medicinal herb has tall spikes of rich purple flowers in the Summer.

Best in light shade, this plant grows slowly - but is tough as nails. The plants we offer have been growing for an entire season, and will bloom in 2012 if planted in the Fall of 2011 or the Spring of 2012.

Highly recommended.
