Sage Amistad is a relatively new addition to the available salvia range and is also known as the 'friendship sage' from Argentina. It is a strong growing plant with attractive bright purple flowers with dark stems growing up to 1m-1.5m in height given the right growing conditions. Sage 'Amistad' prefers a sunny spot 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. Sage 'Amistad' 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 Sage 'Amistad' herb plants are generally available to buy online between May and September, plant out once risk of frost has past.

Arrived in good condition, a little pot bound but now planted out and putting up new shoots within 7 days
Plant came well packaged and in good condition. I have potted it on into a larger container. It was a bit root bound.
