A robust and spectacular back-of-border perennial that brings on a long and prolific display from mid summer onwards, this Rosebud Sage is aptly common named.

Hardy from zone 7 upwards. 8 feet tall, 5 feet feet wide. Full sun to part shade. Rich garden soils. Regular water. Usually available as plants or cuttings, hard-to-find fresh seeds, harvested 01/2026.
