Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A cottage garden star biennial that survived our brutal winter mostly unscathed to bloom this spring. Spires of richly colored violet-purple bracts present the baby blue flowers beautifully. Saturated color and long lasting bracts make for a long, showy season in your garden. The branching, upright habit delivers a candelabra of bloom in June and July.

A must for every garden" says Penelope Hobhouse, so if you've yet to grow this robust, beautiful, architectural & long blooming cottage garden favorite ? this could be your year! More colorful than common ?Clary Sage", 'Piemont' gives us huge candelabra-like spikes of 1.5" two-toned lavender & white flowers held in showy, conspicuous intense violet-purple calyces.

Pretty, aromatic & fuzzy heart-shaped leaves. Highly valued as a medicinal. Deer resistant! Self-sows. To 5' high & 1.5' wide.
