Salvia pratensis

Meadow Clary is an easy to grow, low-maintenance perennial that performs well just about any where. Rich green 'leafy' leaves are set off by flowers that are much loved by pollinators. Reblooms prolifically if deadheaded.

This is the straight species with dull violet-blue flowers. We also grow 'Sky Dance', a flashier variety with bright, sky-blue flowers.
