Red Velvet Sage

Red Velvet Sage (Salvia microphylla 'Red Velvet') is a stunning and resilient perennial that brings a touch of velvet luxury to the landscape. This selection is famous for its prolific display of saturated, deep crimson-red flowers that appear in waves from late spring through the first frost. The foliage is small, dark green, and pleasantly aromatic, releasing a light herbal scent when brushed.

As a rugged member of the Salvia genus, 'Red Velvet' is a premier hummingbird magnet, with the birds drawn to its nectar-rich red tubes from across the garden. It forms a bushy, upright mound that is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established and thrives in the heat of summer. Why you’ll love it: Intense velvety red color, incredible hummingbird appeal, and a water-wise, low-maintenance nature that works beautifully in Mediterranean or cottage-style gardens.

This healthy 4" live flowering plant excels in full sun and requires well-drained soil to remain vigorous.
