Furman's Red Texas Sage
Salvia greggii 'Furman's Red'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Description: This shrubby perennial has bright raspberry-red flowers that bloom sporadically from early summer through fall. Soft green leaves grow on upright woody stems. Tolerates drought and heat and thrives in well-drained soils. 'Furman's Red' is the hardiest cultivar of S. greggii and has survived well in our West Jordan garden for years, but this is the edge of its range and it may not always live through Wasatch Front winters.
