Salvia is a genus that includes around 900 species. In C.E. climate, sage is mainly cultivated as a medicinal and edible plant, which is a woody and even evergreen perennial. Additionally, in recent years, subtropical species have become very popular, especially in urban and park plantings, where they are used as annuals and have the amazing trait of blooming continuously from late spring to early autumn. But we want to introduce you to the third group – sage as a hardy ornamental perennial, specifically wood sage. It was first described in 1762 by the “father of modern botany,” Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778). Its natural occurrence stretches from Central Europe (including the eastern part of Germany), across the Balkans to Russia and Western Asia. Thanks to its ease of cultivation and high ability to hybridize with other species, it has spread throughout Europe, Great Britain, and of course, other continents with temperate climates.
SENSATION® is a superb wood sage series developed by Tobias Braunig from Germany. All its varieties are truly sensational offering low, very dense and usually compact habit with profuse flowering. SENSATION® COMPACT BRIGHT ROSE is a perennial herbaceous sage variety producing bright rose flowers with deep burgundy calyxes. They are composed in 10-15 long spikes and bloom 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. Protected by US plant patent PP26728 from 2016.
Woodland sage requires no special care. It will grow in almost any reasonably well-drained soil, provided it is at least moderately fertile. It thrives best in light, humus-rich soils and full sun or light shade. Feeding is not necessary, only in very poor or heavy soils it appreciates a little balanced fertilizer. In spring, remove all above-ground parts of the plant except for the basal rosette of new or overwintering, healthy leaves. It is hardy to about -37°C (USDA zone 3) and will thrive in outdoor pots and throws, too.
