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.

This is a sizable plant that grows well in large containers. The flower color is quite eye-catching, reason enough to grow this unusual Sage. There are other marvelous Winter flowered Salvias, but this one always stands out. And our hummingbirds love it!

(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.

Salvia x 'Berkeley Blues'

(Berkeley Hybrid Sage) This plant, which we believe to be a hybrid of Salvia mellisidora or Grape Scented Sage and Salvia rubiginosa or Rosy Bract Sage, is a superior garden plant. With nicer flowers, leaves, bracts and habit than either parent, it is tough, long blooming and even fragrant.

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?

But looking around our gardens this cool day, there are a number of very fine blue and purple Sages in bloom now. So in Part 2 of the Winter Salvia series, we’ll discuss these fine plants.
