Shrubs - Sage - Mexican bush

Mexican bush sage is one of the most attractive salvias.  It has ornamental & showy velvety flower spikes produced from late summer to first frost.  It typically grows 4-6ft tall and wide.  Unlike its mainstream cousins, this variety is for decorative, ornamental purposes only.  

Native to central Mexico.  Easy to grow & requires little maintenance with blooms that last for several months.  It tolerates heat very well and is resistant to drought.  If you have a garden with a sunny corner, the Mexican bush variety makes an easy and beautiful choice to round out your plants. It also provides you with lovely and long-lasting cuttings to freshen up your home all summer long.

Scientific name:  Salvia leucantha
