Characteristics of Plant
| In Maryland zone 7, after wintering outdoors during a strangely mild winter, it reached 6' in my garden (We may be zone 7, but this zone 7 plant never wintered outside before). Of all the sages in the National Arboretum sage collection, this one was most constantly hovered over by hummingbirds during our visit, even with visitors coming and going. | Life Cycle
