Description:
Clary sage is a biennial (often lives longer than 2 years and spreads through seeding new plants). Honeybees love Clary sage. The purple blooms are held on 3′ stalks that rise above the basal rosette of leaves. The leaves are very strong scented and some people say it creates a scent hedge to deter rabbits.
Landscape Use:
Herb garden, Back border, Pollinator garden
Prefers well-drained soil. Deadhead to limit the spread.
