Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Salvia microphylla 'Little Kiss' is a compact and floriferous form of 'Hot Lips', one of Phoenix Perennials' all time best sellers. You can expect the same bicoloured white and red flowers of 'Hot Lips' but on plants just 18 inches tall and wide forming a mound with flowers from the ground up rather than an upright plant with flowers at the top of the stems. A top hummingbird magnet. Grow in full sun in moderately rich to lean soils but with excellent winter drainage.
