Rose Queen Sage

Salvia x sylvestris 'Rose Queen'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: Clump-forming perennial. Plume-like spikes of rosy-pink flowers bloom in spring and may continue intermittently through the summer. Remove spent blooms to promote more flowering. Lance-shaped, green leaves are aromatic. Attracts bees and butterflies. Plant in well-drained soils. Tolerates heat and drought.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
