Unique Biennial for the Meadow - Clary Sage

 Over the last few years I have been growing more of my plants from seeds.  Although it takes at least 24 months from sowing until a one-gallon plant,  I find it worthwhile.   But with a plant that tends to be biennial you can lower that to nine months.  Sow in the fall and flowers in July.

I find the pink blush on the bracts interesting along with the deep color of the stems.  

Same crop, planted out first in another garden, is in full regalia June 11th. 

From the same seed packet, this one is light violet and white.
