Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This late summer- and fall-blooming sage for part shade (!) has two-toned pink flowers: rich pink lower lip, and a vertical light pink hood that makes the flowers sparkle in the shade. An atypical and exotic-looking sage! You'll definitely be the first on your block. 2' x 2'Minimum temperature: -15?F

Very desireable Japanese woodland Salvia which in this selection has exotic pink fragrant flowers in October! Likes a moist humusy soil in morning sun to light shade. This is quite a departure for the autumn shade garden and it will leave you wanting more and more Momobana.
