Salvia (Sages)

The Salvia genus, commonly known as sages, offers valuable benefits to UK wildlife. These hardy perennials produce nectar-rich flowers that attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hoverflies. Their long blooming period supports insects from spring through autumn.

Many Salvia varieties thrive in British gardens, providing shelter for small creatures. Birds often forage for seeds in late summer. Plant them in sunny, well-drained spots to encourage robust growth. Choose native or naturalised species like Salvia pratensis for maximum ecological impact.
