Salvia
karwinskii ~ Karwinski's Sage |
| Salvia karwinskii is a large sage from the mountains of Mexico,
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador. Salvia karwinskii grows on the margins of pine and
oak forests at elevations from 4,000-8,000 feet. It seems to grow best in sun at the
coast and light shade in the inland valleys. The large gray-white leaves were the
first thing that I noticed. The flowers can be pink or red. In our area the
pink is the only one that I have seen. It has survived into the low 20's in our
area. Expect your Salvia karwinskii to grow 6 to 10 feet tall and to
about half of that width.
