Slavia tubiflora - Tubular Chilean Sage

(Tubular Chilean Sage) This rare sage from the coastal mountains of northern Chile grows in an environment of foggy days and moderate temperatures. In the wild it can grow 9 feet tall and 4 feet wide, but we have never seen one that large here in California.

This is a handsome perennial that builds up a bit of shrubby wood. The deeply veined leaves are a bright green, up to four inches long, and highly attractive. Flowers are small, cranberry red with nice reddish bracts. Not spectacularly showy, it still commands attention in any garden.

Ours begins blooming in late September, and will continue until the onset of inclement weather. A fine container plant, it will bloom all winter if kept from freezing.

Highly recommended.

Salvia cuspidata ssp. gilliesii

(Chilean Mountain Sage) This spectacular shrub, which used to be known as S. gillesii, is delicate in appearance but strong growing and robust in the garden. A native of the Chilean Andes, it grows in the full sun on rocky slopes often shrouded in fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean. The rounded wooly soft grey toothed leaves are pleasantly scented, and drape on the plant in a way that reminds me of the limbs of conifers.

Salvia discolor 'Purple Bracts'

(Purple Bract Peruvian Sage or Concolor Sage)This very distinctive variety of Concolor Sage is another outstanding plant from Salvia Guru Brent Barnes. As with the wild species, the slightly smaller leaves are apple green and smooth on the top, and have silver hairs on the bottoms. The biggest difference is in the flowers and the large bracts at the base of the dark-purple - almost black flowers.
