May’s Garden Plant of the Month: Woodland Sage

WOODLAND SAGE 

A delight in your garden

One unusual feature is that Woodland Sage is one of the few garden plants with square stems. Honeybees, butterflies and dragonflies also love the plant because of its high nectar production so it’s safe to say that the Garden Plant of the Month for May is a blessing to your garden!

Woodland Sage is a member of the Salvia plant family that includes over 900 species.  Unlike other varieties, this variant is a feast for the eyes rather than the stomach but is perfect for idyllic garden displays as the purple plumes sway elegantly in the wind.
