Best of Class

We believe this to be the best large leaf Mountain Sage.

Salvia microphylla var. neurepia

(Big Leaf Mountain Sage) The specific epitaph of this plant, microphylla, means "little leaf". In this case. it is not at all apropos. The leaves of this Northern Mexican beauty are often three inches long and almost two inches wide, rugose and distinct, but not in any way little. The flowers are large as well, a color that incorporates pink and orange in a way that is hard to describe but easy to like.

First described by American plant explorer Merritt Lyndon Fernald as Salvia neurepia, this distinct type of Mountain Sage has been lumped into the large and diverse species microphylla.

Growing very large and with abundant flowers, this is an excellent choice for hedging, large area groundcover or naturalizing.
