Salvia melissordora Grape Scented Sage

 
 

A mature Grape Scented Sage in bloom

The stately Grape Scented Sage in the photo on the left is about 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide. It was planted about five years ago. It has both fragrant foliage and flowers. The sweet freesia like scent of the flowers is a welcome addition to the autumn garden. Both leaves and flowers can be used to make tea. The softly colored flowers can also be used as a garnish. A late blooming plant that is particularly loved by hummingbirds, Grape Scented Sage complements the fall blooming Lion's Tail and Lemon Verbena. Dark green Lemon Thyme makes a fragrant under planting for Grape Scented Sage and helps to hide the open branching at the base of the plant.

 
 

The softly colored purple flowers attract hummingbirds.

Flowers of Grape Scented Sage make a fun garnish.
