Deep Purple Sage (Salvia greggii 'Mirage™') – Live Plant

Deep Purple Sage is a compact, flowering shrub that produces an abundance of rich, deep purple 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, and containers. The colorful flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies, adding beauty and pollinator activity to the landscape.

The Mirage™ series is known for its exceptional heat tolerance, long bloom season, and vibrant flower color. 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 vigorous flowering.
