Salvia desoleana - Sardinian Sage

(Sardinian Sage) This is another must-have Salvia with elegant leaves and bright rose pink flowers. It spreads gently as a herbaceous perennial and almost never stops blooming for us. The flowers are rosy lavender and quite attractive to honeybees and hummingbirds. This is a medicinal herb in Europe, used to ease fevers.

Similar but denser than Clary Sage, this native to the island of Sardinia is one of our top 10 new plants for 2010! Sorry for the less than impressive picture.

Salvia broussonetii

(Stiff Canary Island Sage) This water-wise Salvia has simply beautiful, large furry foliage! The branched spikes of small white flowers are a nice contrast to the leaves, which are large and lush.

Salvia namaensis

(Nambian Sage) One of the most unusual Salvias we grow, with a loose feathery look from it's deeply cut “lyrate pinnatifid” leaves. Small light blue flowers are distributed over the small shrub almost year round. This is an ideal plant for hot areas, and requires little water to survive. And it has a most pleasant fragrance, reminiscent of some of the California native Sages.

Salvia pennellii

(Tamaulipas Sage) This tall growing, shrubby Sage from northeast Mexico has everything going for it: deep purple flowers, attractive textured leaves and strong dark stems. Shrubby down to the mid 20s, it grows as a herbaceous perennial into the low teens.

Salvia tingitana

(Mauretania Tingitana Sage) A plant with a history. This rare Sage was first described in 1777, and was known for decades before this date. The origin of the plant was a hotly debated mystery - was it native to Egypt, Syria, Aleppo, Tunis, or Tangier - until 1989, when a specimen was discovered in Saudi Arabia.

Salvia x `Savannah Blue’

(Savannah Blue African Sage) Two South Africa Salvias (S namensis and S. repens) are the parent plants of this stunning hybrid Sage. Both of the parents are nice, but this hybrid is spectacular. Dense branching and nicely cut foliage comes from the Namabian Sage, and strong stems with large sky blue flowers comes from the Creeping African Sage.

Salvia africana-lutea

(Beach or Golden Sage) Young plants are thickly covered with elliptical, woolly gray-green leaves. 2”-4” stems carry whorls of very interesting one to two inch-long bright yellow flowers that age to rusty orange and look somewhat withered when mature, making them both an attraction and an oddity. Blooms mainly in the Winter and early Spring and sporadically through Fall.

Shear back by 1/3 in late Spring to encourage new basal growth. Plants need deep watering at least once a month(when established) and enjoy a loose, preferably sandy, soil.

This is a very unusual plant that we find to be tough and resilient. Like many plants from the Cape region, apply fertilizer sparingly and have an acid to neutral, well drained soil.
