DESCRIPTION
Salvia glabrescens 'Momobana' is a delicate autumn-blooming perennial that produces soft pink, tubular flowers held in loose, airy spikes.

Native to Japan, Salvia glabrescens is adapted to temperate climates and thrives in partially shaded settings, making it a perfect addition to woodland gardens or mixed borders. 'Momobana,' with its soft pastel hues, pairs well with other late-season bloomers and adds a touch of elegance to shaded areas.
