Salvia chionophylla

Salvia heirosolimitana

(Jerusalem Sage) A lovely and thrifty herbaceous perennial from Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank, the flower color of this Sage seems to change from a clear pink to a pink highlighted with violet lines and dots. The prominent glandular hairs found on the buds, bracts and floral stems are very fragrant - almost medicinal - delightful on a warm day.

Salvia africana-lutea

(Beach or Golden Sage) Young plants are thickly covered with elliptical, woolly gray-green leaves. 2”-4” stems carry whorls of very interesting one to two inch-long bright yellow flowers that age to rusty orange and look somewhat withered when mature, making them both an attraction and an oddity. Blooms mainly in the Winter and early Spring and sporadically through Fall.

Shear back by 1/3 in late Spring to encourage new basal growth. Plants need deep watering at least once a month(when established) and enjoy a loose, preferably sandy, soil.

This is a very unusual plant that we find to be tough and resilient. Like many plants from the Cape region, apply fertilizer sparingly and have an acid to neutral, well drained soil.
