    This plant had the most pollinators of all the plants in my garden. tons of bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. The flowers were absolutely stunning.

    Blue Sage Seeds

    Very easy to grow and germination rate was excellent. I ended up with more than I had room for and gave some seedlings away. The bees love it and I love the color and vertical interest

    I ordered Blue Meadow Sage seeds that had been described as being a "hardy perennial' in my zone, 6. The Blue Sage seeds I was sent were described on the packet as being an Annual. I was disappointed.

    Store owner replied: Hello Tracey N. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products and processes. This a tender perennial in zones 8+ and treated as listed as an annual in colder zones. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!

    These seeds had an incredibly high germination rate. Each place I planted I have healthy, successful plants. Good choice for OK as they have taken off everywhere I planted them (N facing, S facing, East & West side of home w/mixed sun & shade). Takes all the abuse our weather throws at it.

    Blue Sage Seeds

    One of my favorite plant, it is a magnet for insects and by the end of summer it develops in a big bush. It blooms until first frost and requires little to no maintenance
