Tehuacan Sage
Very floriferous, Salvia curviflora (Tehuacan Sage) is an upright, bushy, semi-evergreen perennial with a profusion of tubular bright fuchsia-pink flowers held on long graceful spikes in summer and fall. The lower lip of the velvety blossoms is often curved under. The tall, vertical spires are clothed with lush foliage of long, lance-shaped, dark green leaves. Easy care and low maintenance, this Mexico native plant is a favorite of butterflies and hummingbirds. Prized for its long blooming season, Salvia curviflora is an excellent plant for containers or border plantings.
