The crinkled, aromatic leaves look good all season and are not bothered by rabbits or deer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort, dense flower spikes 3 to 5 inches long covered in small, two-lipped florets in dark fuchsia pink, each held in a dark wine-purple calyx. Many spikes rise evenly above the foliage. Leaves are lance-shaped, 1.5 to 2.5 inches long, deep green, aromatic and crinkled. The plant is a compact, upright clump 10 to 16 inches tall, spreading from 12 inches to about 2 feet wide with age. At peak it looks like a small cushion of hot pink and purple spikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalvia wants the same full sun and lean, well-drained soil as lavender, and its upright spikes echo lavender's form while filling the gap before and after the main lavender bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in average, well-drained soil; it is drought tolerant once established.
