The colour is more peach than the photo suggests. Beautiful young plant, flowering abundantly from the first season.

Description

Salvia jamensis Sierra San Antonio is a shrubby perennial with a compact habit and astonishing peachy salmon coloured flowers.

 

The abundant and early flowering occurs from July to November with tubular flowers, 2-3 cm (1in) long, peachy yellow, turning salmon as they fade. The flowering is carried by thin, upright brown stems.

 

At maturity, the Salvia Sierra San Antonio reaches a height of 60 cm, its foliage is fine and aromatic, semi-evergreen, and dark green.

 

This small shrub can withstand temperatures of -10°C or even lower in regions with dry winters, if grown in sunny and well-drained soil. Elsewhere, it can be grown against a south-facing wall or in a rock garden, in rich and well-drained soil with 1/3 gravel and 1/3 sand. It will be associated with small grasses, Stipa tenuifolia, Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln', Carex comans 'Milk Chocolate', etc...

 

It looks stunning in pots and containers to decorate terraces and balconies, but it should be protected from frost by being kept in a dry and bright shelter during winter.

Planting and care

Salvia jamensis Sierra San Antonio is best in a sunny location though it will tolerate morning shade. Plant in ordinary well-drained soil. The sage tolerates dry soils and is very drought-resistant once well-established. Mulch its base during harsh winters as it is sensitive to winter moisture. At planting, provide it with a base fertilizer. Water normally as it should not lack water. After heavy winter frosts in March, prune it by half, to 30-40 cm (1 to 12in).
