How to use it. Cleveland sage can be grown in containers, but I've seen it casually massed to best effect. The flowers as well as the foliage of Cleveland sage are fragrant, and will release their scent if brushed up against along a path or planter edge. As one of the largest sages, it needs enough space for it to fill in. Cleveland sage is also a fire-wise plant.Shown: With redhot lantana

Cleveland sage’s size and scent most distinguish it among the salvias; this is one of the larger and more commonly used species. ‘Winnifred Gilman’ is a popular cultivar, noted for its more compact form and perhaps its even more intense flower color and natural scent.
