Salvia greggii
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: Upright-growing, tightly-branched perennial. Abundant bright magenta flowers bloom continuously through the summer. Soft green leaves grow on woody stems. Survives best in well-drained sandy soils. If you have heavy clay soils, look for the cultivar 'Wild Thing' instead. Tolerates drought and heat.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
