All thumbs up for this deep magenta flowered sage from Mexico. Its sprays of gently curved flowers enthrall all the hummers & we're pretty smitten, too. I especially enjoy the habit. It has kept a compact frame 3' in height or so with an equal spread. Add a foot or so to that when it's blooming, which it does handily through the months of Summer & you have a very colorful but also well behaved sage. So nice! The leaves have a hint of purple in strong light, too. Testing for cold tolerance, frost damage minimal so far. Rich soil is best! Get some compost in there, k? We recommend annual pruning post- flower production to maintain health & size of the plant. Well suited to containers!
