FBTS said: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.


@FBTS

I agree it isn't a meadow sage.
Welcome to the Agastache and Salvias Forum!

Hummingbirds are beautiful flying jewels in the garden!
