    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    First appearing as a chance seedling in the garden of intrepid nurserywoman Derry Watkins, 'Stormy Pink' is a superb cultivar creating a profusion of 1/2" blooms in an unusual shade of smoky pink backed by dark plum calyxes. That may sound wimpy, but trust me, this simple to grow Sage is a real stunner in full bloom! To 3'x4' with small, evergreen leaves, it blooms late Spring thru Fall. Cut back in fall to maintain a dense, bushy shape. Best in well-drained soil. Side dress with compost annually. Hummers! DEER RESISTANT.
