Painted Sage

Add a splash of vivid colour to your garden with Painted Sage (Salvia viridis), a hardy annual prized for its showy pink, purple, or white bracts that outshine its small flowers. Easy to grow and drought tolerant once established, this upright beauty thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, cutting gardens, and even containers.

A magnet for bees and other pollinators, Painted Sage blooms from early summer into autumn and performs brilliantly both fresh and dried. Perfect for floristry, herbal patches, or anywhere you’d like a soft, Mediterranean-style display with maximum visual impact and minimal fuss.
