Honey Melon/Fruit Salad Sage

Salvia dorsiana

Beautiful, tall growing sage, which carries rose pink flowers (can be used to flavour salads, fruit salads, drinks etc). The leaves are scented too, and it has a taller and more open habit than common sage. Needs moist conditions but can grow in low light situations (afternoon shade is perfect) and responds well to fertiliser (dynamic lifter in spring is ideal). Protect from frost, or plant where it gets some protection from overhead trees during winter.
