I don't think Meadow Sage is a good common name for this species. To quote from our site:
Meadow Sages, which are native to Europe and known for their cold tolerance, provide vibrant color and a strong vertical element to flower beds. The Meadow Sage group encompasses four main species of Salvia commonly found growing in meadows and pastures. These are:
Salvia pratensis
Salvia nemorosa
Salvia x sylvestris and
Salvia x superba.
