Description

Mexican Bush Sage is a majestic, late-season performer that adds spectacular texture and color to the autumn garden. It grows into a large, arching shrub covered in long, velvety, purple and white flower spikes that resemble soft caterpillars. The striking contrast between the purple flowers and the fuzzy white calyces is unforgettable. Blooming from late summer until frost, it is a vital late nectar source for butterflies and hummingbirds. It requires ample space and warmth to reach its full, magnificent potential.

• Velvety Purple & White Flower Spikes: Features long, plush spikes with purple flowers emerging from fuzzy white calyces.

• Late Season Star: Blooms prolifically from late summer through fall, providing critical color when many gardens fade.

• Large, Arching Form: Makes a substantial, shrub-like presence in the garden, best used as a background plant.

• Butterfly and Hummingbird Magnet: A top food source for pollinators preparing for migration or winter.

• Tender Perennial: Thrives in warm climates (zones 8-10) and is often grown as an annual in colder regions.
