White Meadow Sage is a sturdy upright clumping herbaceous perennial with grey green foliage. Tall spikes with tiny two-lipped white flowers bloom from mid spring through summer attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Flowers best in full sun and moist well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established. Deadheading will extend the bloom.
