Salvia microphylla is a
strong robust plant. With or without care it will keep going in the garden. I
have grown Salvia microphylla on south facing slopes with no water and an errant homeowner who mowed it.
I have grown it in the most cared for situation that would have drowned a lesser
plant. It does gradually outgrow its space and fortunately it will recover from even the most brutal
hack job. Many varieties of this sage go by the cultivar names "Delta Sage,
Cherry Sage, Little Leaf Sage, Berzerkeley and
Hot Lips, Wild
Watermellon, and Baby Sage.
All of the Salvia microphylla cultivars are great additions to the Hummingbird
Garden as well as the Butterfly
Garden.
