Close up of Red Sage, Salvia Greggii with Salvia San Antonio in the background.

A very dependable plant for hot, dry ares. Shown with dwarf purple verbena. (San Antonio, Tx.)

Hummingbirds find this plant a wonderful source of nectar. Pull a bloom off and suck on the small end and you will see why. It blooms nonstop until the first freeze. (San Antonio, Tx.)

This is Salvia greggii "Maraschino," growing in a container.

This is a close-up of the flowers.

This Salvia needs a lot of room for the roots.
