Mexican Bush Sage. This is an all purple variety of Salvia leucantha, with velvety purple calyces and extended, matching purple petals. Slightly less vigorous and shorter than Salvia leucantha, it still requires plenty of space. Both are very drought tolerant and very reliable additions to any garden. They flower in late summer, through into autumn. In spring, new shoots will start to emerge, so carefully cut all the old growth back to the ground after flowering.
Until the plant becomes well established, a deep watering once per month in the height of summer will be beneficial, but not essential. Just like all Salvia's that put on early Spring growth, watch out for seasonal droughts, the best flowers will only come if the plant gets enough water in late Spring, so if the rains don't come, a few deep waterings are a good idea.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
