Cherry Red Sage (Salvia greggii 'Mirage™') – Live Plant

Cherry Red Sage is a compact, flowering shrub that produces an abundance of brilliant cherry-red blooms from early spring through summer and into fall. Its dense, well-branched, mounded habit stays neat with minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. The vibrant flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, bringing continuous color and wildlife to the landscape.

The Mirage™ series is prized for its exceptional heat tolerance, extended bloom season, and reliable garden performance. This hardy sage thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires only moderate watering. Prune lightly before new growth begins in spring to maintain its compact shape and encourage abundant flowering throughout the season.
