Salvia chiapensis (1 qt) | Chiapas Sage (1 qt)
Tender perennial. 18 in. Sun to part shade.
Native to the forests of Chiapas Mexico. Low growing, to 18 inches, deep green leaves with long arching spikes of deep hot pink flowers. Blooms mid spring - late fall, even longer in frost free areas. The clump can grow to 4 feet wide. This sage needs winter protection. It is such a tireless bloomer that many will happily grow this as an annual! It is a great container plant. Underplant with Veronica 'Waterperry' or lime thyme. Prune back 50% occasionally to revitalize bloom.
