Wild Clary - Salvia verbenaca – grows best in light well-drained grassland and in sandy soils on sites in full sun. We have discovered that Wild Clary is a great plant for wildflower lawns where it will self seed readily and tolerate regular mowing to very low heights outside the flowering season. Plants are scented and extremely useful for attracting insect life such as Bees. Wild Clary typically grows to between 30 and 90 cms and has small blue flowers in June and July. Plants look best growing with other wild flowers that bloom in mid-summer such as Oxeye daisies, Kidney vetch, Bird’s-footTtrefoil, Meadow Cranesbills and Field Scabious.

How to grow Wild Clary Seeds
Wild Clary seeds should be sown in spring or autumn, either in seed trays or directly outside, and covered lightly with compost. Seeds can take some time to germinate and trays can be left outside in a cold frame and kept moist until conditions are right to facilitate germination. The seedlings, can then be pricked out and grown on, for planting out later in the year.type - perennial,
