Tall spikes of pure white tubular blooms emerge from white spikes on this vigorous and free flowering native perennial. The compact upright habit makes Sallyfun™ White Mealycup Sage perfect for the garden or containers where its white flowers will contrast with darker shades. Great for butterflies and pollinators.
