DESCRIPTION
From Mexico, this is known as forsythia sage in the USA, no doubt because of the rich yellow-coloured flowers. This is perhaps the most spectacular of the few Salvias with true yellow inflorescences. In warmer climates, this will flower from late Summer onwards, but in cooler areas Autumn, just in time to be burnt by the first frost! By then, the plant is too big...up to 2m tall and wide. However, it is a great foliage plant. The large, square stems are deeply ridged at regular intervals, and the lush foliage is also an attraction. Frost-tender when young but recovers once established Full sun and regular watering are essential.
