It makes a nice companion as a background for other perennial flowers and ornamental grasses.

If given optimal growing conditions, Oriental limelight sage may spread aggressively through undergrounds stems into a large colony. It may outcompete other plants, so plant it in a spot where its aggressive nature will not become problematic.
