Meadow sage is mostly found 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.
When is the flowering time of meadow sage?
The flowering period of meadow sage extends from May to August, with the blue-violet, white or pink flowers appearing as early as April. If you cut back after the first flowering, a second flowering period is possible.
Flowering until summer
The flowering period of meadow sage begins in May. In favorable locations, the mostly blue-violet, occasionally white or pink flowers appear as early as April.
The flowering period lasts until August. The prerequisite is a favorable location, which must be very sunny. Meadow sage does not tolerate waterlogging.
Second flowering period by cutting back
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.
Tip
The non-toxic meadow sage is a perennial plant. The perennial can live for many years. Propagation occurs via seeds, cuttings and root division.
