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.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
