Salvia greggii Sierra Red
These perennial salvias are part of a large family native to Mexico and is therefore well equipped to survive the often dry conditions in Australia.
They offer a lengthy flowering period first beginning during spring. They can be easily grown in containers for mobile colour if required.
Triming spent flower stems not only encourages further flower production but also helps maintain a compact form with dense evergreen foliage which is characteristically aromatic.
There are over 500 known salvias in the world ranging from bedding plants and perennials to small shrubs. The plant Salvia greggii is native to the hot, dry regions of Mexico and Texas.
