Purple Sage has masses of beautiful racemes of fragrant lilac purple flowers with blue overtones rising above the foliage from early to mid summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its attractive fragrant narrow leaves are purple in colour with curious grayish green undersides. As an added bonus, the foliage turns a gorgeous deep purple in the fall.
