Probably the hardiest of all the ornamental garden sages. Introduced from Mexico in 1990 by Compton, d'Arcy and Rix this variety has huge deep pink flowers from early summer right through to the first frosts. These are set off well on a background of fresh green aromatic leaves. Height and spread to around 70cm x 40cm. Any well drained soil in sun or light shade. Our cuttings are taken from the original plant.
