Description

Caradonna Meadow Sage is a compact perennial known for its rich purple flower spikes and clean upright shape. The dark stems add contrast and make the flowers stand out even more.

It blooms from late spring into summer, and often reblooms if you trim it after the first flush. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, which helps support a healthy garden.

This plant works well in borders, mass planting, and modern landscapes. It pairs easily with grasses and other drought tolerant plants. The structure stays neat, so it fits both formal and natural designs.

In the Bay Area, it performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. Once established, it needs little water and handles dry conditions well. It is also deer resistant, which makes it a reliable choice for many areas.

If you want strong color, low maintenance, and repeat blooms, this is a dependable perennial.
