Meadow Clary -salvia pratensis – grows best in light well-drained grassland and is suited to chalk and limestone soils on sites in sun or semi-shade. It is one of the most beautiful of all meadow plants but sadly now rare in the wild. Plants are useful for attracting insect life such as Bees, and Butterflies. Meadow Clary typically grows to about 2 or 3 feet high and has rich blue flowers in June and July. Plants look best growing with other chalk and limestone wild flowers that bloom in early to mid-summer such as Oxeye daisies, Greater Knapweed, Meadow Cranesbills and Field Scabious.
