Autumn Sage (Salvia greggii) is a versatile, drought-tolerant shrub that brightens gardens with its vibrant flowers in a range of colors, from red to white, and its minty, aromatic foliage. This nearly evergreen plant is a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is a popular choice for use in ornamental beds, low hedges, or as a colorful accent in dry landscapes. Known for its dense growth habit and long-lasting blooms, Autumn Sage is also deer-resistant and performs well in hot, dry climates.
