Salvia pennellii - Tamaulipas Sage

(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.

(Wooly Multicolor Sage) The large wrinkled foliage and white wooly stems of this large, shrubby Sage is reason enough to grow it. But the flowers and wooly bracts are unlike any other Salvia we have ever seen. Starting in the morning as an orange-apricot, they age as the day goes on to a reddish-purple. The bracts are white, with overlays of pink, orange, violet and cream. The flower clusters are large and on display from mid Summer until the onset of cold weather.
