Salvia Gregii

Description

Salvia greggii (Autumn Sage)

Salvia greggii, also known as Autumn Sage, is a hardy, drought-tolerant shrub that adds vibrant color to gardens with its tubular flowers in shades of red, pink, white, and purple. Ideal for attracting pollinators, this plant is a favorite for sunny landscapes and low-maintenance gardens.

Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. More sunlight enhances flowering and keeps the plant compact.

Soil: Prefers well-draining soil; tolerates poor and sandy soils.

Watering: Drought-tolerant once established; water moderately, allowing soil to dry between waterings.

Temperature: Handles heat well but may need protection from frost in colder climates.

Pruning: Light pruning in early spring encourages new growth and helps maintain shape.

Perfect for borders or rock gardens, Salvia greggii adds long-lasting color with minimal care and is a reliable choice for any xeriscape or water-wise garden.
