Salvia microphylla Berzerkeley is exceptional in the garden. The leaves and flowers are larger and the flowers pinker than the
old garden varieties. It makes a great, if a little
enthusiastic, garden plant. This plant does as well in light shade as
full sun. This specimen is growing on the north side of a garage.
I have not had issues with plants producing seedlings or being problems in
this way. The Salvia microphylla Berzerkeley specimens in the ground
have gotten about 2.5 feet tall and twice that wide. They look a
little ratty in the winter so I cut them back and get an early flush of
flowers in March. The plants are almost always in bloom through late
Fall when it finally gets too cold. Salvia microphylla berzerkeley
is a great addition to both the Butterfly
Garden as well as the Hummingbird
Garden.
