Meadow sage mostly occurs in the wild. But the wild plant is also enjoying increasing popularity in the garden. The reason is not only the pretty flower colors, but also the long flowering period, which lasts several weeks.
Meadow sage sometimes blooms as early as April
Flowering time until summer
Meadow sage begins flowering in May. In favorable locations, the mostly blue-violet, occasionally white or pink flowers appear as early as April.
The flowering period extends into August. The prerequisite is a favorable location, which must be very sunny. Meadow sage does not tolerate waterlogging.
Second flowering by pruning
When caring for the garden, a second flowering period can be achieved if the meadow sage is cut down to the ground immediately after the first flowering.
The plant then sprouts again and flowers a second time.
