Description:

3’ x 30” wide (seed/cutting propagated). 2005 Plant Select Winner. This gorgeous CA-native plant is a new to cultivation, thanks to CO seedsman Alan Bradshaw, who supplied me with my original seeds. You’ll love it for its beauty and tough-as-nails garden performance.

Best in well-drained, sandy-loam or clay-loam soils and full, hot sun. Giant Flowered Purple Sage blooms all summer and has evergreen, silver foliage that gives the plant year-round interest. Prune back and shape in the fall after the flowers are finished. The leaves are pungently fragrant and browse-resistant.

Grown in premium 5” deep pots.
Zones 5-9.
