Although many of us think of Salvias as sunny border plants, there are many species that prefer a somewhat shaded situation. This is true of Salvia nipponica 'Fuji Snow' which is a woodland plant preferring moist, well-draining soil. This cultivar is known for its dramatic arrowhead-shaped leaves which are irregularly white-variegated along their margins. These are truly eye-catching in a shaded border. From late summer through early autumn, six-inch spikes of soft yellow flowers rise above the foliage to add late-season interest.
