DESCRIPTION
Mexican bush sage, or Salvia leucantha, is an evergreen shrubby perennial that's prized for its dense, arching spikes and ability to produce an attractive late summer bloom of showy flowers. The plant feels soft and hairy to the touch, and the bi-color blooms. In Autumn, you can expect to see lovely cascades of velvety purple flowers that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators and wildlife. Native to Central America and Mexico, it can be grown as an annual that typically rises to about two to three feet tall within one growing season. The Mexican bush sage's flowers are about ten inches long and extend above its soft green foliage, which has a slight silvery tint. Its gray-green leaves have a velvet-like texture and grown on pairs on square stems.
