The flowers are held on tall spikes that can grow to 12 inches tall. The aromatic, narrow, soft tomentose, gray-green leaves foliage are also appealing.

    Plant care

    Growing a Bee’s Bliss Sage is easy with the right care. In terms of maintenance, Bee's Bliss Sage is considered to be a very hardy plant. It is drought tolerant and can tolerate a wide range of soil types, from sandy to clay soils. It also does well in full sun to partial shade, making it a versatile choice for gardeners.

    Plant your Bee's Bliss Sage in a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Grows well in sandy or clay soil if well-drained. Best in arid climates but will grow in coastal gardens. Avoid overhead irrigation and plant in an area with good air circulation to prevent powdery mildew problems that can develop in humid areas. Light afternoon shade may reduce summer stress in hot, inland gardens.

    Immediately after planting, water the soil deeply to help establish roots. Allow soil to dry in between waterings. Once established, supplemental water is needed depending on environmental factors. Extreme drought or heat may lead to summer dormancy if overly stressed but will bounce back with the return of winter rains.

    Prune when it is done blooming to tidy up Bee’s Bliss shape and appearance. Remove dry flower stalks and cut back to desired size.
