(Southern Mexican Sage) With it’s graceful, shrubby habit, purplish green, deltoid leaves and intense tomato-red blooms, this herbaceous perennial will make a delightful display in your garden.

Southern Mexican Sage begins blooming in October and will continue, sporadically through the Winter in frost free areas. Collected by Strybing Arboretum botanists in the late 1980’s, it is found at high elevations (7,500-11,000 ft.) in Mexico and into Guatemala. This is truly a cloud forest sage.

For a medium size plant with pleasing proportions by bloom time, cut stems back to a few inches above the ground in early Spring.

Salvia confertiflora

(Red Velvet Sage) The 12” to 18” inflorescence of this exotic looking Salvia are crowded with small, velvety, orange-red flowers from mid-Summer to late-Autumn. It’s large, dark green, pebbly textured leaves are beautiful in their own right, making this one of our top 5 Salvia favorites.

By blooming time, either shelter from the wind, staking or near-by ‘support’ plants will prevent breakage of it’s heavy, red tinged stems. We have found that deep, weekly watering, an occasional light feeding of multipurpose fertilizer and heavy pruning in late Winter or early Spring keeps this dramatic plant looking it’s best.
