Description

Salvia buchananii is a beautiful perennial that grows up to 1 to 2' tall but is more spreading than upright. It does not like frost and will act more like an annual in colder climates. Fuzzy, magenta flowers, 1" long, bloom in the summer. It attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Leaves are glossy green. This plant tends to be brittle so it's best to plant in areas with low traffic.
