Salvia gregii 'Cherry Chief' - Cherry Chief Mountain Sage

(Cherry Chief Mountain Sage) With literally hundreds of varieties of Autumn Sage on the market, there is a great deal of confusion as to which of these are truly garden worthy. Only after trialing a variety and having it score Excellent do we offer one of these for sale. This one, from Richard F. Dufresne of North Carolina is one of the best.

Compact, very free blooming and strong growing, Cherry Chief has flowers of a clear red - difficult to photograph with precision but eye catching in the garden. It is one of the larger gregii types we grow, but can easily be kept smaller by pruning.

Highly recommended!
