Red Salvia Greggii

Red Salvia greggii, also called Autumn Sage, features tubular scarlet blooms that cover the plant from spring through fall. Its small, dark green leaves and tidy shape make it a dependable backbone in layered perennial beds. The bright flowers stay vivid even in the peak of summer heat, and the plant’s form stays neat without constant pruning. It blends well with ornamental grasses, coreopsis, or silver-leaved perennials. Thanks to its compact habit and high color impact, it's also a favorite for public spaces and high-traffic commercial installations. It’s also an excellent candidate for water-wise landscapes and low-maintenance seasonal displays.

• A herbaceous perennial
• Bright red blooms on upright stems
• Rounded, bushy habit to 3 feet

This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is hardy in USDA zones 7–9. It performs beautifully in North Texas beds with seasonal cleanup and light spring pruning. Deadheading can help extend blooming throughout the warmer months.
