Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This stunning flowering sage from the highlands of Bolivia is robust in both bloom and form. The broad deep green leaves create a uniform backdrop to the ever-rising clusters of fuzzy red blooms. It's a fast grower that performs admirably in the summer season beginning to flower in late July and continuing until frost. Flower heads emerge on upright stems that put forth a dazzle of red blooms week after week.
