Salvia leucantha is a perennial ornamental sage that’s often grown as an annual during the summer months in northern regions. Since it only survives the winter in warm climates that stay above 18°F, this plant is treated as an annual and grown only for a single season in all but the warmest regions. Mexican bush sage reaches a height and width of 4 to 5 feet with a soft, open growth habit. The tapered leaves are a silvery-green on the bottom and a medium green on top. Unlike culinary sages, the leaves of this Saliva species are not flavorful. Instead, it’s grown for its good looks. In the autumn, the plants produce spires of fuzzy, light purple and white bicolor flowers that are long-lasting and prolific. Their nectar is adored by hummingbirds and bees alike. Yes, this is a plant that requires patience because it really doesn’t strut its stuff until late in the growing season but trust me…It’s worth waiting for!
