Salvia is a large genus containing about 900 species. In our climate mostly common (evergreen) sage is grown for culinary uses and in our woodlands you can come across a few herbaceous botanical species. Also, very popular are those of subtropical origin that are grown here as annuals with long flowering season. We prefer to aim at herbaceous perennials which are not as widely cultivated as they would deserve because we believe that there are species, hybrids, and varieties suitable for every landscape.
SENSATION® is a superb wood sage series developed by Tobias Braunig from Germany. All of its varieties are truly sensational offering low, very dense and usually compact habit with profuse flowering. SENSATION® COMPACT VIOLET is a perennial herbaceous sage variety producing deep violet flowers formed in 10-15 long spikes from about mid May until late summer if you deadhead regularly and fertilize the plant. The plant is very dense and well branched forming compact tufts only about 30 cm tall. Deciduous leaves are mid green, narrowly ovate, wrinkled, and softly hairy.
Wood sage and its hybrids will grow in almost any well-drained soil. For best results grow it in light, humus-rich, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. In spring remove all parts above-ground parts. It is perfectly hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4) and will grow in outdoor pots and troughs, too
