Perennial salvia are ornamental sage plants that are both easy to grow and deer-resistant. The salvia plant grows in a nice mound with grey-green leaves. The flowers grow on spikes, called racemes or panicles, held above the plants for a show of color in the spring and summer. Salvia plants thrive in the sun and are beginner-friendly because they are drought-tolerant. In fact, growing ornamental sage is great for any level of gardener because it requires very little care. It’s known for surviving on its own and just producing color from spring to fall. Best of all, salvia species, including annuals, biennials and perennials, are known for attracting pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies, so you’ll have plenty of garden visitors coming to your yard every year.
At Jackson & Perkins, we carry several varieties of perennial salvia for the sunny spots in your garden, ranging in color from blue to purple, along with a white sage called “Bumblesnow.” These white stunners are great flowers to mix in your flower garden, but you can also add them to your container gardens for a vertical influence and colorful backdrop for other plants in the pot. The white sage is a little smaller than its purple and blue cousins, making it perfect to greet your garden’s visitors at the front of the flower bed.
