Salvia gravida

Best of Class
Best of Class
We believe this to be the best large flowering pink Salvia.

Salvia gravida


((Gravid Sage) This tender perennial from Michoacán, Mexico, has large, rich magenta flowers that hang from the arching branches in clusters up to 12 inches long. Growing up to 5 feet tall, this sage offers an unforgettable display when in bloom.

"Gravid" means "with child," and a plant loaded with it's full inflorescence does bring a pregnant woman to mind. Grow this dazzling sage against a wall or trellis. Give it full sun or partial shade as well as rich, well-drained soil and ample water.


Consider Gravid Sage for border, background and container plantings.

We are pleased to suggest these other plants, which go well with Salvia gravida:

Salvia buchananii Salvia buchananii

 (Buchanan's Sage) No longer found in the wild in its native Mexico, this spectacular Salvia is widely grown in courtyards and by entryways throughout the country. Also known as Fuschia Sage, it has long, pendulous, magenta flowers that are fuzzy and framed by purplish, glossy leaves.

 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 

#869
Salvia carnea Salvia carnea

 (Temascaltepec Sage) In full bloom, which is all year in mild climates, this mid-sized Salvia has far more flowers than foliage. Each 1/2-inch-long, bright pink bloom has two dark pink/purple spots and a pair of white stripes. The small, slightly furry leaves add to its soft, pleasing look.

 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 

#284
Salvia chiapensis Salvia chiapensis

 (Chiapas Sage) This partial-shade Salvia produces magenta flowers year round for us on the Mendocino Coast. It's compact, free flowering and not bothered by pests whether large or small. It is native to Mexico's coastal mountains at an elevation of 7,000 to 9,500 feet.

 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 

#858
Salvia cinnabarina Salvia cinnabarina

 (Cinnabar Sage) Think of this plant as Pineapple Sage on steroids. It grows 5 feet tall and wide and bursts with large, intensely red, furry flowers all winter. Our overwintering hummingbirds adore it. This cinnabar-red sage is hard to forget once you see it in full bloom.

 Our price: $9.00
Amount: 

#483
Salvia dombeyi Salvia dombeyi

 (Giant Bolivian Sage) Hailing from Peru and Bolivia, this tender specimen is found at altitudes of 9,000 feet in the wild. This multi-stemmed, woody-based, climbing Salvia needs support. Hummingbirds love its 5-inch-long, crimson flowers, which are the longest grown by any Salvia and flower from late summer through autumn.

 Our price: $9.00
Amount: 

#297
Salvia dorisiana Salvia dorisiana

 (Fruit Scented Sage)  This plant has it all -- big, light-green leaves that are fuzzy soft and large magenta-pink flowers that smell intoxicating and bloom from winter into spring. Fruit Scented Sage is one of the strongest and most deliciously scented plants we have encountered.



 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 

#873
Salvia eizi-matudae Salvia eizi-matudae

 (Shaggy Chiapas Sage) This is a sweetheart! Glowing magenta flowers lure the eye as well as hummingbirds to this heat-tolerant sage. It begins blooming in late summer where weather is warm and in fall where it is cooler.

 Our price: $8.00
Amount: 

#872
Salvia ionocalyx Salvia ionocalyx

 (Violet Calyx Sage) Here's another abundantly blooming sage from the cloud forest slopes of Chiapas, Mexico. Violet beelines mark the lower lip of the crimson blossoms, which are so numerous that it can be difficult to see the foliage at times.

 Our price: $8.00
Amount: 

#728
Salvia myriantha Salvia myriantha

 (Mexican Many Flowered Sage) This cloud forest Mexican native has so many flowers they are difficult to count, starting in the early Winter and going well into the Spring. The color is a deep violet, with two very large bee lines that develop after the flower opens. The foliage is sticky and aromatic, making this a good background shrub in the landscape.

 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 

#700
Salvia purpurea Salvia purpurea

 (Autumn Purple Sage) The small but very numerous flowers of this Sage, native to Southern Mexico and into Guatemala, are a shade of light purple that is unlike any other we grow. A shrub that can grow to seven or more feet in ideal conditions, the light yellow-green leaves give it a soft look in the shaded garden.

 Our price: $7.00
Amount: 

#620
Salvia tubiflora Salvia tubiflora

 (Tubular Chilean Sage) This rare sage from the coastal mountains of northern Chile grows in an environment of foggy days and moderate temperatures. In the wild it can grow 9 feet tall and wide, but we have never seen one that large.

 Our price: $9.50
Amount: 

#734
Salvia univerticilata Salvia univerticilata

 (Blood Red Mexican Sage) Deep red flowers on unusual, single whorls are eye-catchingly bright to both gardeners and hummingbirds. Blooming year round in mild climates, this Sage from Chiapas, Mexico is very happy to show off in partial shade.

 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 

#726
Salvia x 'Marwin Gardens' Salvia x 'Marwin Gardens'

 (Marwin Garden Sage) A pleasure to grow and most unusual, this hybrid Sage of unknown origin has proved reliable and more than garden worthy for us. Large soft pink flowers and green & white bracts top this compact and well branched four foot shrub.

 Our price: $9.50
Amount: 

#704
Salvia wagneriana 'White Bracts' Salvia wagneriana 'White Bracts'

 (Pink & White Wagner's Sage) From the cloud forests of Southern Mexico and Central America comes this 100% dazzling winter blooming beauty. This one differs from the straight species in having white bracts instead of the usual pink. We have it in bloom from November through March - come snow, ice or temperatures as low as 20 degrees. How hardy is this plant, beloved and cultivated by the people in its native lands?
