Salvia greggii Mirage Deep Purple (Autumn Sage) is a compact, upright, bushy, evergreen sub-shrub boasting showy racemes of mildly fragrant, two-lipped, deep purple flowers with dark calyces. Blooming from spring to frost, the flowers bloom in whorls above the aromatic foliage of small, ovate, dark green leaves. The blossoms are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Native to Texas and Mexico, Salvia greggii species is a popular landscape plant thanks to its heat, humidity and drought tolerance. It is also valued for its nearly evergreen habit (evergreen in warmer climates), its colorful and long-lasting blooms and as a magnet for hummingbirds.
