It is a useful plant for providing continuous colour in woodland gardens after spring flowers are over. Wood Sage is a low growing species with attractive foliage and pale yellow flowers that appear from July to September. Wood Sage looks best growing with woodland wild flowers such as Nettle-leaved bellflower, Herb Robert, and Wood avens. Alternative names for Wood Sage are Hart’s ease and Garlic Sage.
