Woodlander's George Mitchell found, named, and propogated. This is brightly varigated form of this large leaf growing sage. It holds up well in sun and produces the same deep violet flowers just before frost.
Large growing perennial salvia with relatively large leaves and bushy habit of growth. Pretty terminal racemes of blue flowers. From sunny rocky streamside location. Tucuman Province.
Salvia microphylla 'Lutea' is an uncommon yellow-flowered form of the littleleaf or baby sage, a small woody shrub of the mountains of Mexico and the borderlands. Where the species carries the usual salvia scarlet or orange-red, 'Lutea' opens soft, pale yellow flowers instead, a quiet and unusual color on a plant otherwise known for hot tones, and blooms over a long season from late spring into fall.
Salvia puberula, the downy sage, is a big, late-flowering Mexican sage grown for tall spikes of deep magenta-pink flowers that open when the year is nearly done. The blooms are large, nearly four inches long, gathered in showy clusters atop the spikes, and the color is rich and saturated, glowing at a season when little else is in flower. The spikes cut well for the vase.
