A choice plant for dryish borders, Salvia sclarea var. turkestanica rises with commanding spires that bring height and pollinator activity to sunny borders. Large rosettes of softly textured, grey-green leaves form a handsome base, releasing a distinctive herbal fragrance when brushed. In its flowering season, tall branching stems carry striking spikes of pale pink and white flowers that catch the light creating a shimmering effect.

The overall look is bold yet naturalistic, making it ideal for gravel gardens, prairie-style planting or Mediterranean borders where its upright form adds structure among grasses and mound forming perennials. Bees and butterflies are irresistibly drawn to the nectar-rich blooms, while the dramatic flower spikes also make excellent additions to cut arrangements. A short-lived perennial or biennial, it often self-seeds, allowing this distinctive sage to reappear and weave through the planting year after year.

Ultimate height: 1m (3.2ft). Ultimate spread: 50cm (20in).

Growing Information

Grow in full sun in free-draining soil. Water well during establishment phase - plants are drought tolerant once established. A short-lived perennial or biennial, the life of the plant can be extended by removing the spent flower spike before it goes to seed. However, allowing plants to seed will establish a self-sufficient population, with new seedlings coming up each season to replace old plants. After flowering in the autumn, cut down plants leaving just the basal rosette of leaves to overwinter.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
