  • Notes

Meadow salvia is a perennial with thick, crinkled, deep green leaves with undersides that are slightly pubescent. Basal foliage is dense and semi-evergreen. Stems are erect and stiff, and possess the mint-squareness. Violet-blue flowers form in racemes along the flower spike from May through July; cutting back spent flowers may prolong blooms into the fall. Spreads through crown growth and seeding. Great cut flower. Grows 2 feet tall and wide.
