Collection: Perennial Salvia Plants

Perennial salvia earns its place in the garden with a dependable habit and a long bloom period. Its upright bloom spikes add great structure to any border. It belongs to the mint family without the invasiveness and many cultivars carry a pleasant fragrance. Pollinators find it irresistible, especially hummingbirds. Because it smells so good to us and so bad to deer and rabbits, it delivers solid critter resistance. That makes it a great choice for gardens with wildlife pressure.

Also known as Wood Sage, perennial salvia grows hardy in zones 3–8. It thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Its compact height makes it perfect for the front or middle of a border. You'll find it in pink, purple, white, and even bi-colors. When blooms start to fade, deadhead the plants to encourage another flush of color later in the season.
