Allen Chickering Sage is a BEAST!.....if beasts were to grow into 5 foot balls of delight, that is! A hybrid between 2 excellent native sages (Cleveland and Purple), this very, very fast plant can reach full size in just a year or 2, each year blooming brighter and louder! 4-5 feet high and wide (or a little wider) is normal for this plant, which loves the hottest sun you can find. Needs little to no water (don't put next to a lawn!), and flowers from late spring into Summer with beautiful Violet-Purple wands of magic that butterflies, hummingbirds and bees love! This plant can be in and out of bloom until the Fall, and should be cut back once or twice a year for best appearances. Oh wait, we're forgetting the best part.......Rub the leaves and smell! Hands down one of the best-smelling and prettiest native plants we grow! Works beautifully on slopes.
