DESCRIPTION
Salvia officinalis forms softly textured mounds of silvery gray-green leaves with a distinctly aromatic character. In late spring to early summer, upright stems rise above the foliage carrying whorls of soft lavender to pale violet flowers that add a gentle wash of color above the leaves. The plant’s evergreen habit in mild climates allows it to provide visual interest well beyond its flowering season, making it a steady presence in the garden.
Native to the Mediterranean region, Salvia officinalis has been cultivated for centuries for both ornamental and practical purposes. In garden settings, it works well in borders, herb gardens, and mixed perennial plantings, where its silvery foliage adds texture and its seasonal blooms support pollinator activity. It also adapts easily to containers and pathway edges, offering year-round structure and dependable seasonal interest
