Ornamental Features

Sensation™ Sky Blue Meadow Sage has masses of beautiful spikes of sky blue flowers rising above the foliage from late spring to early fall, which emerge from distinctive purple flower buds, and which are most effective when planted in groupings.

Landscape Attributes

Sensation™ Sky Blue Meadow Sage is an herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.

This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Sensation™ Sky Blue Meadow Sage is recommended for the following landscape applications;

Mass Planting
Border Edging
General Garden Use
Container Planting
