Some Herbs may be too tall for our standard packaging and will be trimmed to fit. This will not be detrimental to the plant but will mean that these herbs will flower later in the year.
The Blister packs used to protect our beautiful herbs during transit are made from 100% recycled plastic and can be recycled kerbside.
Autumn Salvia 'Alba' has pretty white flowers with small narrow leaves. Autumn Salvia 'Alba' loves the sun as it is native to Texas and Mexico. It has evergreen leaves and despite its name flowers from Jul to September. Autumn Sage prefers a sunny spot it enjoys moist but well drained soil, flourishing in a well drained border or in a large pot. The ideal time for cutting back flowering shrub sages, is the Spring once new growth can be seen and risk of frost has past. Cut up to half the plant back shaping as needed. If Sages are becoming leggy then a light summer cut may be required. Dead heading the old flowers will encourage new flowers all season.
Sage has been used for centuries as a culinary herb. The Autumn Sage 'Alba' is grown as a perennial herb plant primarily for its flowers, which are highly attractive to bees and butterflies. However, the leaves and flowers can be used to flavour food and drinks
Our potted Autumn Sage 'Alba' herb plants are generally available to buy online between May and September, plant out once risk of frost has past.

A good plant in excellent condition that will survive the winter planted now. The root system was well established and the plant is very good value for money. My one disappointment is that it was incorrectly labelled, which could confuse some people, not that familiar with Salvias. The plant was labelled 'Salvia officinalis white' but I'm satisfied that it is "Salvia greggii 'Alba'",
