Salvia dorisiana - Fruit-Scented Sage

(Fruit Scented Sage) This plant has it all. Big, soft, fuzzy, light green leaves , large magenta-pink blooms and an almost intoxicating scent. One of the most strongly (and deliciously) scented plants we have come across to date.

From Honduras, this tender perennial is named after Doris, daughter of Oceanus, wife of Nerus and mother of 50 sea nymphs. At our ocean side nursery it over-winters with minimal cold damage, with new growth coming back from the lower stem in the years we do get a prolonged frost.

Hummingbirds will be drawn to your Fruit Scented Sage and the inflorescence make good cut flowers. Great in containers, use this Sage as a Patio Plant if you live in a cold Zone.
