Snowhill Meadow Sage

Salvia x sylvestris 'Snow Hill'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: Compact herbaceous perennial with spikes of snow white flowers that bloom profusely in June and continue sporadically through the summer. Green leaves with serrated edges are quite large at the base with smaller leaves growing from the stems. Remove spent blossoms to promote additional blooming.

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.

As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
