Salvia x sylvestris L.

Woodland sage is valued in floristry for its vertical spike-like inflorescences and high stem strength, which allows it to be used as a structural element in bouquets.

In the reference 4 varieties crop Wood sage, where this is mentioned in the description.

Salvia x sylvestris cultivars possess rigid, upright stems, which simplifies florists' work and eliminates the need for additional supports during cultivation. The vertical shape of the inflorescences, combined with a palette of blue, purple, pink, and white shades, makes the plant a sought-after accent in floral arrangements.

An additional quality of the crop when used for cutting is its fragrant foliage. To extend the production period and stimulate re-flowering suitable for subsequent floral use, timely removal of spent inflorescences is required.
