Comments: The spike-shaped clusters of true blue flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators to this wood sage. Growing less than 2 feet tall with an upright habit, it can add a splash of color to the front of a garden bed. Meadow sage first blooms in late spring with a dense cluster of flower spikes and will rebloom during the summer. Once established, meadow sage is tough and dependable tolerating heat, humidity and drought.
