(Majestic Pink Sage) Very large richly colored hot pink blossoms and broad, glossy, intricately textured leaves are part of what makes Salvia x 'Majestic Pink' a standout. This is a complex hybrid involving several Salvia species from the ongoing breeding program at FBTS.

Give this Sage full sun, because shade will make its naturally regal, upright form lax. You wouldn't want it to drag like a cape. Despite being drought resistant, it appreciates average watering based on local conditions. Well-drained soil is necessary for successful growth.

Although a member of the Autumn Sage (Salvia greggii) and Mountain Sage (S. microphylla) Group, this hybrid includes other parentage that make it quite tall when in bloom.

The Autumn Sage - Mountain Sage group is native to the Southwest, Texas and Mexico. Its plants are popular choices for dry gardens.
