Sage arrived a bit small and not looking in great shape, but by the end of January it seemed almost normal to us. It's now 4th April and we don't see any signs of recovery. The plant appears dry. We'll see in a few weeks...

Description

Salvia jamensis Melen is a compact shrubby perennial with early flowering, constantly renewed from May to November. Its numerous tubular flowers are light yellow, with an orange upper lip, contrasting with a dark brown calyx and measure 2 cm (1in) long. The flowers are carried by thin upright reddish-brown stems.

The foliage of the Salvia jamensis is semi-evergreen and dark green and the 3 cm (1in) long leaves are thin and aromatic. When fully mature, the Salvia Melen reaches a height of 60 cm (24in).

This plant can tolerate temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F). It can be grown in borders alongside grasses, as a low hedge, in rock gardens, or in pots on a balcony or terrace. You can even place the sage as a standalone plant.

Planting and care

Plant Salvia jamensis Melen in a sunny location. It tolerates morning shade. Plant in ordinary soil as long as it is well-drained. The sage can withstand dry conditions and is very resistant to drought once well-established. Mulch around its base during harsh winters as it is sensitive to winter moisture associated with cold temperatures (it is hardy down to about -8°C (17.6°F)). When planting, provide it with a base fertilizer. Ensure the plant does not lack water. After heavy winter frosts in March, prune it by half, to 30-40 cm (1 to 12in). Apply a general fertilizer every year in spring.
