'Mirage Cream' autumn sage (Salvia greggii 'Mirage Cream') is a shrub for borders, containers, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. The evergreen leaves are fragrant. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
