100 Seeds Clary Sage Tricolor Mix Salvia sclarea Ornamental Herb

Clary Sage Tricolor Mix is a biennial or short-lived perennial herb in the Salvia genus, grown ornamentally for its tall, branching flower spikes and aromatic grey-green foliage. This mix offers a range of bloom colours across pink, white, and violet tones, producing a soft, cottage-garden look that suits borders, wildflower areas, and pollinator-friendly plantings. A versatile choice, it fills vertical space in mixed beds and works well in dried and fresh flower arrangements.

Beyond its ornamental use, Clary Sage is often grown in herb gardens for its fragrant leaves and its traditional place in culinary and craft settings. The plants establish a deep taproot, so they prefer well-drained ground and generally resent excessive moisture around the crown. Sow in situ or start in trays, and expect flowering mainly in the second year, with plants reaching roughly 60 to 90 cm in height. Deadheading can extend the bloom period, and stems can be cut for drying when flowers are fully open but before they fade.
