Mexican Bush Sage (Salvia leucantha)
|
3.25" pot available for only: $4.00
|
|
|
This is a wonderfully showy, drought tolerant, heat-loving annual for the garden bed. Large plants grow 4' tall and wide in full sun and produce purple flower spikes continuously all summer and through fall. Plants attract butterflies and hummingbirds, and are avoided by all but the hungriest of deer. Planted with torch tithonia, you'll just about faint from the beauty, but not from the work — both are low-maintenance! Plants grow 2-3' tall.

|
|
3.25" pot available for only: $3.00

Each petal is a soft peach edged in dark russet for a two-toned look. Also called pot marigolds, calendulas prefer cool temperatures and may stop blooming during the intense heat of summer. Planting in afternoon shade will extend their blooming season considerably. Calendula flowers will surprise you again when night temperatures begin to cool and will bloom well into fall even with light frosts, and often self seed from one year to the next. Blooms on 12-18" stems for great cut flowers.
