Brown Sage. An aromatic hardy shrub with unusually coloured flowers, borne over a long period. It is fairly fast-growing, up to 150 cm and very attractive to wildlife. The flowers contain a lot of sweet nectar which attracts bees and moths, Flowering begins in early spring, and the bright yellow flowers soon fade to rusty-orange and then reddish brown. After the petals fall, the saucer-like calyx, which becomes papery with age, remains as an added attraction. The flowers are both attractive and a curiosity. The flowers are complemented by greyish-green, aromatic foliage. Altogether this is a very worthwhile addition to any garden.
Traditionally used as a tea for coughs and colds, sweetened with honey. The leaves are lovely for use in pot-pourri as they retain their shape, colour and much of their fragrance, and mix well with other ingredients. This is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, as it prefers light, well-drained soil and full sun, tolerates strong winds, and is drought resistant.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
