Plant Combinations

Lilac Foreground: Perovskia (Russian Sage) Prefers full sun, very drought tolerant, bees and humming birds love it, has a wild free form shape. In mass the purple flowers on the branches can look cloud like. Mixed and behind: Salvia greggii (Pink Autumn Sage) Prefers full sun, very drought tolerant though better with regular water to avoid leggy branches. A favorite of bees. This plant comes in a range of flower colors, shades of pink, red,lilac, deep purple, white and magenta. A variegated leaf form of yellow and green with red flowers is Salvia greggii 'Desert Blaze'. In the San Jose area I have only seen this one carried at Capitol Wholesale Nursery.
