Winter Blooming
 | This section includes varieties that peak in winter or bloom for a significant part of the season. Some are also included in our fall or spring lists if their flowering either starts in autumn or extends into spring. |
(Raspberry Truffle Sage) Hybrid sages with Big Mexican Scarlet Sage parentage (Salvia gesnerifolia) tend to have thick clusters of large, deep purple flowers supported by bracts that are almost black.
(Hybrid Bolivian Sage) This naturally occurring hybrid is a Bolivian native related to S. orbignaei and S. haenkei. Prettier than its parents, it has large, profuse, long-blooming flowers that are dark pink.
