| Autumn (Greg's) Sage, Salvia greggii |
Autumn Sage, also known as Greg's Sage or Cherry Sage, is a perennial, semi-evergreen shrub native to the
rocky soils of Texas and Mexico. It may grow close to 1 meter in height and width with
flower color averaging red, but also including purple, orange, white, and pink. This species is a long, constant blooming plant with heavy blooming in spring and fall, and scattered blooming in summer. As a
native to Texas, it is both drought tolerant and heat resistant. With the addition of
attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, Autumn Sage has gain popularity in landscaping.
The Greg's Sage happened to be a great replacement for the roses that we had to remove due to Rose Rosette. If planted in the right zone, it grows great in sun or partial shade with little effort and plenty of beautiful blooms.
