Salvia transsylvanica - Romanian Sage

(Romanian Sage) This hardy herbaceous perennial features rich violet flowers in large whorls atop tall, branched spikes. A great selection for the mixed border, it should be placed where one can enjoy the beautiful dark yellow-green, prominently textured leaves.

The stems of this plant are lax, and trail across the ground - rooting as they go - forming a small clump. Flowering begins in early summer, and continues until first frost. This is a plant that should be more widely used than it currently is.

Highly recommended.

Note: This plant is probably hardy to below zero F, but we have no direct experience so as to be able to state this definitively.
