Salvia dorisiana ~ Peach Sage, Fruit Scented Sage

Salvia dorisiana is a tropical looking and smelling sage.  The Fruit Scented Sage has the fragrance of a fresh fruit cocktail and leaves to make you believe you are in the jungle.  Salvia dorisiana prefers light shade.  The Peach Sage is remarkably cold hardy for a plant that looks this tropical.  It made it through the low 20's at my house with no visible damage.  You can expect it to get rather large 5 feet tall and 6-8 feet across as it is a little floppy.  It blooms from spring to fall almost continuously with large pink flowers.  While Salvia dorisiana can withstand some drought it will look much better with a regular source of moisture.  Salvia dorisiana is a great addition to the butterfly garden as well as the hummingbird garden.
