Adding sparkle to the shade garden, Salvia roemeriana (Cedar Sage) is a small perennial boasting brilliant spikes, 2-3 in. long (5-7 cm), of crimson red flowers over a long season. Blooming profusely in early spring for a couple of months, then sporadically through summer, the flowers are borne atop a velvety rosette of rounded scallop-edged leaves. Perfect for rocky shaded areas, Cedar Sage is particularly adapted to grow in the shade of Junipers, Cedars, hence the common name. Its flowers are both edible and sweet and can make an attractive garnish. Use Cedar Sage to add crimson color and attractive foliage to shady beds and borders, along paths or as a small-scale ground cover.
