A striking cultivar of Clary Sage, Salvia sclarea var. turkestaniana 'Vatican White' has tall, dense spikes of cool white petals tipped with pale lilac, white bracts and fresh green calyces — a delicious combination enhanced further by large, aromatic, grey-green leaves.
Bold and architectural, this is a very versatile plant. A great candidate for a white garden, adding strong vertical punctuation, its ability to thrive in free-draining soil with little watering makes it ideal for a gravel garden too. Much beloved by bees and butterflies, it is easy to grow in full sun or light dappled shade, flowering from June to July, with bright bracts extending the display into September. Being biennial, it flowers in its second season then dies, but readily self-seeds.
