Salvia
SALVIA (sal’-vi-ah) – Sage – is a large genus of herbs and shrubs from the Mint Family. Salvia is represented throughout the world.
Many are valuable garden perennials with flowers growing in spikes, racemes, or panicles on tall stems in blue, red, pale yellow or white, and variations. Heights range from 2′ to 4′ feet tall. Some species must be treated as annuals in temperate climates where they are half-hardy growers.
Some of the best Salvia plants are incredibly hardy, and when combined with their simple cultural requirements, make them model border plants. Any average garden position suits them, although they are at their best when planted in an enriched loamy soil where they get sun most of the day. Some of the species are grown as culinary or medicinal herbs.
