I welcome comments about my web pages feel free to use the form below to Seed for 'Color Mix' from NARGS '12/'13 exchange.You've certainly had more luck than me - my recent attempts to overwinter, here in zone 6, have not been successful. I meant that characteristics bred into the mother plant (e.g., dwarf habit, flower color, or greater hardiness) are not necessarily passed on to its offspring. Next spring will be the third year, so we'll see. I heavily mulch mine in the winter, and it's come back. I gathered the seeds from this plant, and am curious what you meant by 'you never know what you're going to get from seed'. Visitors to this page have left the following comments Heather PlantLinks to other web pages about Salvia greggii In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: rock garden zone Starting to fade in early November, still a rich color combo on this seed-grown plant Now that we're in Texas, I decided to try again, with a store-bought cultivar named 'Lipstick', which is evergreen here even in the harshest winters Houston throws at us. Those plants did not make it through the winter, so I gave up growing them in Pennsylvania. Even grown as an annual it's great - our plants bloomed profusely over neat crinkly foliage, from late summer well into fall. The 'Furman's Red' cultivar is supposedly hardy to zone 6, although you never know what you get from seed. Those bloomed in their second year, but didn't return for a third, which I attributed to their zone-7 hardiness (our Pennsylvania garden was in zone 6). We've grown autumn sage before, from seed collected in a Philadelphia garden. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.Germinate at room temperature light may be helpful It is even sizeable enough that it can be grown alone in a suitable container. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Hot Lips Sage is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. It can be propagated by division however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.

This is a selection of a native North American species. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist growing conditions, but will not tolerate any standing water.

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 5 years. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 4 feet apart. Hot Lips Sage will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 5 feet. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. The foliage often turns burgundy in fall. Its small tomentose narrow leaves are green in color. Hot Lips Sage has masses of beautiful racemes of fragrant white flowers with red overtones rising above the foliage from late summer to mid fall, which are most effective when planted in groupings. Hot Lips Sage is recommended for the following landscape applications: It has no significant negative characteristics. It is a good choice for attracting bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. A garden would look so pretty with a mix of Autumn Sage in different colors 6. While the most common color is red, Autumn Sage can also be found in purple, pink and even white. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. Here is how my Autumn Sage looks a month after the mega freeze of Feb 2021. Hot Lips Sage is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth.
