Perennial sages are worth their weight in gold in ornamental borders, thanks to their summer-long displays of spiky, nectar-rich flowers.
Salvia x jamensis ‘Pluenn’ is a compact perennial salvia with fresh green, aromatic foliage. From May until the first frosts it’s covered with icy-pink flowers. ‘Pluenn’ can be planted in containers. Alternatively, plant next to benches and paths where you can brush past the aromatic foliage and enjoy its pretty blooms. The flowers are extremely attractive to bees and other pollinators.
For best results grow Salvia x jamensis ‘Pluenn’ in well-drained soil in full sun. Plants may need protection in extreme winters. Cut back in late spring after the risk of frosts has passed.
