White Profusion Salvia is as beautiful a perennial as it is versatile. Packed with spires of long-lasting white blooms that repeat through midsummer against dark green foliage, it’s easy to grow in nearly any full sun location. It’s a magnet for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies and other pollinators, is drought-tolerant, resists deer and rabbits, and makes a fantastic cut or dried flower. It’s even salt-tolerant, if you are gardening near the coast.
White Profusion is a hybrid of Salvia nemorosa, or Woodland Sage, a species native to Europe and parts of Asia, which accounts for the telltale spicy fragrance of its leaves and flowers which we love, but deer and rabbits apparently do not. This ornamental sage grows in a tight upright clump, perfect for a filler in a summer patio pot, or massed in painterly drifts in the garden with grasses, Monarda and sedums, Piet Oudolf-style. Oudolf says the spire shape is an ideal counterpoint for the more common rounded composite daisy-shape flowers. White Profusion would make a fantastic perennial for the cutting garden, a star in the moon garden, or a pollinator garden.
White Profusion Salvia Care
White Profusion Salvia loves full sun. It can take a bit of drought, but you’ll see the better rebloom and growth with consistent moisture. It’s adaptable to any soil pH, and would prefer average or fertile soil. Compost, aged cow manure, or slow release fertilizer in spring should be adequate for this resilient, long-bloomer.
Deadheading flowers will encourage renewed flushes of bloom, sometimes into early fall, though they will be progressively smaller. If plants become leggy or floppy, they may be cut back at any time to refresh the foliage.
White Profusion Salvia Spacing
A good space to allow for White Profusion is about 16 to 20 inches between plants.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
