Salvia rubiginosa - Rosy Bract Sage

(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.
