    If you’re looking for a trouble free & vigorous long blooming blue perennial for Summer, look no farther than this very floriferous & cold hardy Sage from the mountains of Romania. To 24-30” tall & 30” across, it forms short stout “candelabras” covered with rich clear lavender blue hooded flowers from June to October. Bodacious basal rosette with large & attractive crinkle-edged leaves. Rich soil for best show. Cut back spent spikes to keep it blooming. Winter dormant.
