A heat lover for the warmer zones with early season through summer blooming! Salmon-pink flowers climb dark purple-black stems in airy open whorls and are cradled by matching purple-black calyces for a dramatic color contrast.
Tidy and compact, Salvia Mirage™ Salmon is drought tolerant and carefree once established. Hummingbirds, butterflies and bees adore the blossoms. Aromatic foliage often remains semi-evergreen.
