Salvia greggii | Dark Dancer | Autumn Sage The beekeepers journal A traditional alternative to modernA lovely, low maintenance, evergreen perennial Salvia that bears loads of dark magenta flowers that emerge in spring and continues to bloom right through to autumn. It needs a sunny, sheltered position to protect its little leaves from winds. Like most salvias it prefers a damp but free draining soil. It looks amazing grown in containers as a feature plant and is suitable for coastal locations. Grows to around 45 cm tall and wide. Lovely little beauty
