Salvia nemorosa 'Sensation Rose' (Meadow Sage)

Salvia nemorosa 'Sensation Rose' – Compact Pink Meadow Sage

'Sensation Rose' is a standout in the Sensation series of dwarf meadow sages, bred by Kleinhanns and introduced in 2005 (PP18230). It forms a tight, well-branched clump of deep green foliage, topped with a profusion of vibrant rose-pink flower spikes. Its compact size and long bloom time make it perfect for containers, front-of-border, and mass plantings.
