Cut flower gardens and Cottage borders bring you armloads of showy flowers for bouquets!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Perennial Sage flowers best in the full sun, with at least six hours of sunlight a day. Give them well-drained soil or keep them in patio pots or raised beds if you need to improve drainage. Provide moderate moisture their first year in the ground, but once established, these herbaceous perennials are very easy, fast-growing, and drought tolerant.

Adding Nature Hills Root Booster during planting provides life-long support, and 3-4 inches of arborist mulch around your plants, especially when planted in harsh conditions to better retain soil moisture and insulate the roots from heat and cold.

So easy to grow and very low maintenance! Deadhead or cut back after flowering to promote reblooming, keeping the blooms returning longer! Cut the entire perennial down in late winter or early spring. Divide every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.

• Cold Hardy Full Sun Lover
• Any Well-Drained Soil
