Notes

'Balmirrobi' autumn sage (Salvia greggii 'Balmirrobi') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers. The arching plant grows at a moderate pace and tolerates drought and salt. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Ice plant, and Fountain grass.
