Salvia Nemerosa 'Sensation Rose'

Salvia Sensation Rose , Garden Sage

Sensation Rose Meadow Sage (Salvia nemorosa Sensation Rose) brings pink flowers and upright structure to a perennial border. Purple calyces and bracts remain visible among the small blooms, giving the spikes a richer depth of color.

Gray-green leaves form a bushy base beneath the flowering stems. The display extends through summer and into fall, making this sage useful among plants with broader leaves or rounded flower heads.

Choose a sunny position with reasonably fertile soil and good drainage. Light shade is tolerated, though stronger light generally supports better flowering.
