Salvia nemorosa 'Salute White'

Common Name:
Salute White Sage

Description:
Salvia nemorosa 'Salute White' is a compact, clump-forming perennial celebrated for its crisp white flower spikes and strong garden performance. A cultivar of the hardy Balkan woodland sage, this plant is ideal for Melbourne’s climate, thriving in sunny positions with well-drained soil. From late spring through to early autumn, it produces upright spikes of pure white, tubular flowers that are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Its aromatic, grey-green foliage forms a neat mound, making it perfect for borders, pots, and cottage garden schemes. The ‘Salute’ series is noted for its dwarf habit and floriferous nature, making 'Salute White' an excellent choice where space is limited or for creating formal planting designs with a soft, natural aesthetic. Regular deadheading will encourage repeat blooming, and it’s both drought-tolerant and low-maintenance once established.
