Salvia Rose Queen

Salvia Rose Queen

Rose Queen Meadow Sage (Salvia ‘Rose Queen’) carries small rose-pink flowers along slender, upright spikes. Dark green leaves create a quiet background that lets the summer color stand out without overwhelming neighboring plants.

Its compact, bushy growth suits the front portion of a mixed border. Planting several together emphasizes the vertical flower stems and gives the soft pink blooms more presence than a single plant on its own.

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