Salvia Roots

Salvia plants, also known as sage, produce essential garden perennial blooms on colorful spikes. A member of the mint family, each salvia spike is densely packed with tubular-shaped blossoms, making them irresistible to bees, butterflies, and humming birds. Heat loving and deer resistant, salvia thrives in gardens across our great nation from mid-summer through fall. With its bright blue spires reaching from 18 inches to four feet tall, salvia offers color, texture, and a structure often lacking in the garden. "Salvia" typically refers to the ornamental plant and "sage" to the culinary herb.
