Salvia nemorosa, also known as woodland sage, is a perennial herb originating from Europe and Western Asia. The cultivar ‘Marvel Rose’ has some of the largest flowers of any salvia nemorosa. Its graceful stature, reaching around 14 to 16 inches, is adorned with lance-shaped, gray-green leaves emitting a delightful fragrance when crushed. The rose-pink flowers appear spring to fall.
