10 Seeds Mexican Bush Sage Salvia leucantha Flowering Perennial

Mexican Bush Sage is a flowering perennial known for its velvety spikes of purple and white blooms that rise above grey-green foliage, creating a soft, textured look in garden beds and borders. It is a favorite among gardeners for its late-season color and its ability to attract pollinators to the landscape.
This versatile plant works well in mixed borders, cottage gardens, and containers, where its upright habit and long bloom period add vertical interest. The blooms are also excellent for cut flower arrangements, holding their color and shape well. With its tolerance for heat and dry conditions once established, Mexican Bush Sage is a reliable choice for low-maintenance plantings.
