Shame, see photo, a small stem, hardly anything to see. It's better to say or do nothing for now than to sell a sage like this one. Ref 84980!!

Description
Salvia verticillata 'Endless Love' is a recent variety of whorled sage that stands out for the abundance and duration of its flowering, as well as for its vigour. This beautiful variety blooms continuously from June until the end of September. Its long dense spikes of small dark violet flowers dominate in borders and delight pollinators. This robust perennial plant will thrive in any good garden soil, in full sun or partial shade.
Salvia verticillata is an herbaceous perennial, non-woody plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, like all salvias. It is native to Western Europe and the Near East, as well as the plains of Central Asia. It is a perfectly cold-resistant sage, capable of enduring heat and relative drought. It is characterised by flowers arranged in whorls along the floral stems. The lifespan of whorled sage rarely exceeds 5 or 6 years in our gardens.
The 'Endless Love' cultivar was introduced to the market in 2016. This variety distinguishes itself from the wild species through its spectacular and long-lasting flowering. The plant has a bushy habit and will reach a height of 60 to 70cm (24 to 28in) with a spread of 40 to 50cm (16 to 20in) within 2 or 3 years. The flowering takes place from June to September, in the form of branched inflorescences bearing an abundance of dark mauve flowers enclosed in dark violet calyces. The tips of the floral stems are tinged with purplish-violet. The deciduous foliage is composed of slightly greyish-green, very hairy, triangular-shaped leaves. They measure 3 to 15cm (1 to 6in) in length and have a dentate, serrated edge. The foliage appears in spring, first forming a beautiful rosette from which the inflorescences emerge throughout summer.
Easy to grow and not very demanding in terms of soil, 'Endless Love' sage enjoys bright and sunny exposures but dislikes waterlogged soils in winter. Plant it in a meadow garden, mixed borders, or in a grass garden, with which it forms beautiful associations. It also pairs well with shrubby salvias, echinaceas, asters, Agastache 'Kudos Mandarin', tall sedums, or dahlias. It can be easily grown in containers and pots throughout summer. Nemesias, diascias, and lobelias also make great companions for whorled sage in flower pots.

Planting and care
Ideally, position it in a very sunny location, or at the very least in partial shade. Plant it in ordinary soil, as long as it is well-drained. If your soil is heavy, clayey, and compact, incorporate gravel and/or coarse sand and compost into your mixture before planting. The whorled sage tolerates dry and chalky soils. It is drought-resistant once well-established, but it is sensitive to winter moisture. The flowering continues abundantly until the end of the season as long as the faded stems are regularly cut off.

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.
