The Meadow Sage is a popular and easygoing plant that can tolerate a wide variety of conditions. It’s hardy, drought-tolerant, and fast-growing, which makes it a great addition to cottage gardens.
Salvia Pratensis, also known as “Meadow Sage,” “Wild Sage,” or “Meadow Clary,” naturally grows in meadow-like environments. The plant is native to Europe, West Asia, and North Africa. It’s naturalized in the US and is even considered a weed in Washington stage.
This plant can be a true eyecatcher, reaching 23-36 inches (60-90cm) tall and 12-24 inches (30-60cm) wide. Meadow Sage features tall, spiked purple-blue blooms that flower from late spring to early summer. The blooms are praised for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
