Salvia pachyphylla - Rose Sage

Description

A stunning subshrub hailing from the Mojave, the Rose Sage hits you with a show of periwinkle whorls on top of magenta bracts.  A clean 2-3' lump of silvery foliage makes this an eye-catching border plant in any hot garden.  Pretty easy to grow and drought tolerant.  Hummingbirds will not come off it, and deer will not touch it- and it blooms almost all year round!  Cut back each year as with all Salvia, to ensure a tidier looking plant the following year.
