Salvia pennellii

(Tamaulipas Sage) This tall growing, shrubby Sage from northeast Mexico has everything going for it: deep purple flowers, attractive textured leaves and strong dark stems. Shrubby down to the mid 20s, it grows as a herbaceous perennial into the low teens.

Use this plant at the rear of a border, or in a dry wild garden. Not terribly well mannered, this strong grower will be one of your favorites if you value drought resistance, heat tolerance and late season blooming. This is a rare variety that should be more widely grown.
