To The Rescue
I always feel a bit guilty when shopping for plants at a big home improvement store, I feel like they are the puppy mills of plants. I usually end up buying the poor plants on the back display that are past their prime and have been marked down 75%. Usually they’re a little brown and crispy, but they’ll perk up when attended to. Last night, while at our big home improvement store, I found a few great plants for 75 cents each.
I bought 5 East Friesland Hybrid Sages and 5 May Night Salvia.
Plant information for East Friesland Hybrid Sage.
Plant information for May Night Salvia.
I have many of these plants already in the front garden, so I know they do well here. They were also rescued 2 years ago from the back display of the same store! I plan on using them to fill in the front hillside that is currently a work in progress. Bees love both of these plants. May Night Salvia blooms early in the spring, it’s one of the first perennials to bloom in my garden.
The Sage blooms a little later and is equally loved by the bees. It also smells great when you brush up against it while weeding.
