WINNIFRED GILMAN SALVIA 1gal

If you are looking for a plant that truly captures the aromatic soul of the high desert, Winnifred Gilman Salvia is the absolute gold standard. This evergreen shrub is a showstopper, growing into a beautiful, rounded form about 3 feet tall and wide. It thrives in the full, intense sun and is remarkably water-wise once it settles into your soil. What sets this variety apart is the intense color; it produces striking whorls of deep violet-blue flowers held by dark, ruby-red bracts that look stunning against its silver-green foliage. I always tell my neighbors to plant this near a walkway because the scent is heavenly—just a brush against the leaves releases that classic, refreshing sage fragrance. Best of all, while the local honeybees and hummingbirds will treat your yard like a Five-Star bistro, the deer and rabbits find those fragrant oils unappealing and will leave your prize alone.
