Description
Salvia pratensis Pink Delight, also known as meadow sage, is a highly floriferous perennial sage with inflorescences that bloom as early as May, adorned with large pale lavender-pink flowers that are truly unique!
Originally from Western Europe to the Caucasus, meadow sage is a very hardy perennial species that can tolerate sun and dry soils. The 'Pink Delight' variety produces multiflorous spike inflorescences in spring, reaching a height of 60 cm (24 in), adorned with pale lavender-pink flowers that are very bright. The flowers bloom from May and continue until the middle of summer. The deciduous leaves are ovate to oblong and rough, with crenate edges.
Easy to grow, Salvia pratensis Pink Delight thrives in full sun or partial shade, and prefers rich, light, and slightly acidic or alkaline soils. It can withstand dry soils in summer, which may induce a dormant state in arid regions during the summer months. It dislikes heavy soils and excess water in winter.
Plant 'Pink Delight' sage in a meadow garden, mixed border, or ornamental grass garden, as it forms beautiful combinations with these plants.

Planting and care
Place Salvia pratensis Pink Delight preferably in a sunny and bright spot. Plant it in a regular soil, as long as it is rich and moist but well drained. Meadow sage can tolerate dry conditions in summer, but it is sensitive to winter moisture. Flowering recurs abundantly at the end of the season if you take the trouble to cut the stems just after the first flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
