Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Painted in pretty lipstick shades of cherry-red and magenta, slender whorled flower spikes festoon this shrubby evergreen Salvia. Warm, rosy brown calyxes and attractive ripple-edged green leaves heighten the showy long lasting blooms. Introduced by Yucca-Do Nursery, the amenable 'Hoja Grande' hails from Mexico's Nuevo Leon, and in our garden jazzes up neighboring Phlomis russeliana, while easily tolerating dry conditions whether the weather's hot or cool.
