Pink Profusion Meadow Sage

Pink Profusion Meadow Sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Pink Profusion')

Pink Profusion Meadow Sage brings saturated pink flower spikes and a compact, tidy habit that instantly sharpens the look of sunny beds. It blooms heavily from late spring through summer, and a quick trim after the first flush helps keep fresh color coming. The dense, rounded clump stays neat at the front of the border, so plantings feel intentional without extra fuss. Pollinators are drawn in quickly, adding movement and life right where you see it most.

Distinctive Features

This meadow sage is known for dark pink flowers held in deeper pink to mauve calyces, creating a rich, layered color effect that reads well from a distance. Aromatic green foliage forms a compact mound that stays presentable between bloom cycles and helps the plant look clean in mixed plantings. The flower spikes rebloom readily after shearing, making it a reliable option for long-season performance. Mature size is typically 14 to 16 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun is best for sturdy stems and the strongest flowering.
• Soil: Well-drained soil is essential, and average garden soil performs well when drainage is good.
• Water: Water regularly during establishment, then provide average moisture and water during extended dry spells.
• USDA Zones: Zones 3 to 8.
• Mature Size: About 14 to 16 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide.
• Deer: Often deer resistant once established due to aromatic foliage.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Plant a tight cluster as a focal point where the bright pink spikes can define the front of a sunny bed for weeks.
• Border Edging: Use along the front to middle of borders for compact structure and a clean, finished line.
• Mass Planting: Repeat in drifts to create a unified ribbon of pink that ties planting areas together.
• Pollinator Gardens: Include where you want steady bee and butterfly activity during peak bloom.
• Containers: Grow in pots for a tidy, upright accent that stays compact and easy to manage.

Low Maintenance Care

• Shearing: Shear back after the first heavy bloom to encourage rebloom and keep the mound tight.
• Deadheading: Remove spent spikes as needed to extend flowering and maintain a clean look.
• Watering: Deep water during prolonged drought, especially in the first season and in containers.
• Fertilizing: Feed lightly in spring, since overly rich soil can soften growth and reduce flowering.
• Spring Cleanup: Cut back old stems in early spring to make room for fresh new growth.
