Salvia gesneriiflora 'Mountain Form' - Mexican Mountain Scarlet Sage

(Mexican Mountain Scarlet Sage) The origin of this dwarf form of the species is not clear beyond the fact that it came from from Mexico. Amazing long (up to 12") flower spikes start in the early Winter and continue through Spring, covering the plant with dark red flowers and red bracts. This clone differs from the more commonly known 'Tequila' in being much smaller in growth, having smaller leaves and flowers, and having very distinctive red bracts.

For those who love the large, hummingbird-magnet flowers of this species but don't have room for a very large shrub, this variety is an answer. Reliable Winter blooming - highly recommended.
