Forsythia Sage (Salvia madrensis) is a captivating perennial that blooms from fall through winter, offering vibrant color when many other flowers have finished. Known for its unique four-sided stems and ridged edges, this plant thrives in full sun with some afternoon shade in hot climates and adapts to various soil types, including rocky and heavy clay soils. Its rapid growth, clumping habit, and velvety, heart-shaped leaves enhance landscapes, while its showy yellow flowers provide a striking display. Forsythia Sage is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for garden resilience and beauty.
