During this period of dry cool weather, the decorative load is being carried by one perennial and the cool weather annuals.
Salvia greggii is also called autumn sage. Right now, even though it is not in its heaviest bloom period, it is carrying a major part of the load for decorating area landscapes.
The light green, mouse ear-size leaves back up its many bloom colors including pink, red, cherry, white and lavender. Deer do not eat it and it is a nectar source for bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. Autumn sage blooms well in full or partial sun and qualifies as a xeriscape plant.
