Salvia microphylla is an evergreen shrub with an abundant flowering season, found in the wild in southeastern Arizona and the mountains of eastern, western, and southern Mexico.
The microphylla species itself is a very complex species which easily hybridizes, resulting in numerous hybrids and cultivars brought into horticulture since the 1990s.
So what is labelled microphylla may actually be greggii and what is greggii may actually be lemmonii… and since they all hybridize together… it’s a real special kind of party.
Though I am not a botanist, the research I have done has led me to believe that this is, in fact, a Salvia microphylla or a Graham’s sage (flowers arranged in whorls, late spring heavy blooming, leaves are ovate and smooth and smell of blackcurrants when crushed)
Flower Color:
The flowers are bright red and continuously flowering over the course of the summer
TIPS:
- Cut it back in spring to allow the new growth to flourish and to give your bush a nice shape.
- If your area is particularly frosty in the winter months, add some mulch to protect the roots.
The Tales:
Salvia counts over 900 species so there are so many to choose from!
