Yumemigaoka Garden, where "Amethyst Sage" blooms in autumn

Native to South America, amethyst sage (Salvia leucantha) gently colors the autumn landscape with its fluffy flower spikes swaying in the breeze. The contrast between the silvery leaves and the velvety purple flowers is beautiful, and the plant also has a faintly sweet fragrance.

It is known as an ornamental herb and is not suitable for eating, but it looks great as cut flowers, dried flowers, or pressed flowers.

I'm home,Yumemigaoka GardenWell then 2,800 amethyst sage plants is now at its best.
The sight of the pale purple "Amethyst Sage" and the deep purple "Purple Amethyst Sage" looks like a purple carpet. Watching the flowers swaying in the gentle breeze is enough to make you lose track of time.

The best time to see the flowers is until late October.
Come and enjoy a moment of autumn surrounded by purple at Yumemigaoka Garden.
