Salvia nemorosa 'Marcus'

Meadow Sage (aka Woodland Sage) is a dependable woody-based perennial, returning year after year, and drought tolerant once established. Its fragrant leaves are not favored by deer or rabbits, but the flowers are a draw for butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. 'Marcus' is one of the more compact varieties, forming an upright mound about a foot tall and up to two feet wide. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage more flowers, extending the flowering period from late spring up to the fall.
