Salvia rubiginosa

(Rosy Bract Sage) One of the finest small growing Salvias, this tidy, small leafed sub-shrub covers itself in large floral clusters. Rosy-red bracts are large and deepen in color as the season proceeds, providing a spectacular backdrop to the 1/2 inch clear blue flowers.

A mounding plant that appreciates a bit of shade, good fertility and ample water, this native of southern coastal Mexico and Guatamala is one of our favorite container plants. It seems to bloom all through the Spring, Summer and Fall.

Centradenia floribunda

(Spanish Shawl) This is one of these plants that stops most people in their tracks. The deep purple/pink, standout flowers are show stoppers in and of themselves - but the furry leaves, which start green and mature to a bronze red are unique and unforgettable.

Salvia adenophora

(Oaxaca Red Sage) This rare sage has small, furry, bright orange-red flowers in abundance. It grows nicely in containers or, in mild climates, can become a large shrub in the ground. Attractive, bright green foliage and winter-to-summer blooming make it a desirable choice.

Salvia glechomifolia

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.

Our price: $9.00

#718

Salvia x 'Raspberry Truffle'

(Raspberry Truffle Sage) Hybrid sages with Big Mexican Scarlet Sage (S. gesnerifolia) tend to have large, very deeply colored PURPLE flowers in large clusters with dark, almost black bracts. The other parent of this most notable Salvia is Mexican sage (S. mexicana), whose habit it has inherited.
