Autumn Cherry Chief Sage - Salvia greggii - 3" Pot - Live Plant

Outstanding ornamental from Mexico and Texas with small, fruit-scented leaves and wonderful bright colored flowers. Called autumn sage because the hot days and cool nights of early fall bring on a glorious spurt of autumn flowers to cap off a continuous display that begins in June. The aromatic leaves are used as a seasoning in Mexico, and the edible nectar-filled flowers are excellent in salads, even adding to the ‘crunch’! Magnet for hummingbirds. Does well in full or half sun. Many scarlet flowers, 2.5cm/1in. Does better than most during hot summer months. Zones 7-10.
