SALVIA greggii Wild Thing - Autumn Sage - Medium 24-30" - plant 24-30" apart. zone 6-10. Long blooming from June to October - this plant produces masses of hot pink, almost cherry-red flowers with purple calyxes over lustrous green aromatic foliage. Semi-evergreen Hummingbirds and butterflies adore the blossoms. Cut back in the spring.

I found gallon plants of this Salvia at Lowe's this Summer, much to my delight and now have four 1-gallon plants in the ground. I really love this Salvia; the color is so beautiful! I'm hoping all four plants survive the Winter ( they are hardy to zone 6 ) and that the plants get even more beautiful and larger next year!

Not all four of the 'Wild Thing' Salvias survived the Winter, but the one I added the photo on 10/25/07 did survive and is doing great! This is a fantastic Salvia to grow!
