Salvia darcyi - Galeana Red Sage

(Galeana Red Sage) With flowers like S. microphylla on steroids, this hardy Salvia comes with a bonus - it spreads gently by underground runners and forms a weed blocking clump of salmon orange beauty for months on end.

Do you think we like this sage? For us where S. microphylla or S. x jamensis cultivars sometimes suffer in the cold damp weather, this plant is a welcome substitute.

Here in cool Northern California it blooms from June to October, with flowers and stems large enough that we use it as a cut flower. The 1 inch by 2 inch wrinkled leaves grace a mounding habit that is as soft as the color. With a dark red Salvia in the background, this color glows!

Native to the eastern Sierra Madre Occidental at a altitude of 9,000 feet, in the colder Zones, Galeana Red Sage acts as a herbacious perennial.
