Salvia sclarea is a biennial or short-lived herbaceous perennial that is largely grown for its essential oil.
The distilled essential oil is used widely in perfumes and as a muscatel flavoring for vermouths, wines, and liqueurs.
This does not mean that the plant itself is not magnificent!
The flowers appear in little bouquets over a meter high on long square stems covered in little hairs. The bouquets are called verticils, with 2-6 flowers in each verticil, and are held in large colorful bracts that range in color from pale mauve to lilac or white to pink with a pink mark on the edge. It's majestic and worthy of looking at for hours.
They are imposing. elegant and fragrant and they attract pollinators!
The foliage is a bit fuzzy (covered in little hairs) and of a light green-grey color.
