Pollinator cultivar — Salvia x sylvestris L.
Salvia x sylvestris L.
For Salvia x sylvestris, the concept of a 'pollinator cultivar' is not agronomically significant, as the plant is self-compatible and does not require partner selection for seed set.
In the reference 6 varieties crop Wood sage, where this is mentioned in the description.
Woodland sage is an entomophilous plant with a developed lever mechanism of the stamens, which ensures pollen transfer by insects regardless of the presence of other cultivars. The species exhibits a high degree of self-compatibility and does not require cross-pollination to form seeds.
In the crop's agrotechnics, the selection of pollinator cultivars is not practiced, as the ornamental traits of cultivars are more often maintained through vegetative propagation, including division and cuttings. Attracting pollinating insects to sage plantings is ecological in nature and is not associated with the need to increase yield.
