Salvia greggii is relatively carefree and very tough...perfect for a low maintenance garden. It resents too much fertilizer and irrigation but does not mind regular pruning to enhance its shape. Salvia greggii is a Texas native plant that is named in honor of a Tennessean named Josiah Gregg who botanized the southwest in the 1840's. In addition to enjoying Salvia greggii in the garden for its colorful flowers and shrubby habit, try using the leaves in potpourri or as a seasoning. Salvia greggii frequently hybridizes with Salvia microphylla and the resultant offspring are referred to as 'Salvia greggii types' or Salvia x jamensis. At the southern end of its hardiness range Salvia greggii is evergreen but a the northern end, it will freeze to the ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe European native, \u003cstrong\u003eSalvia nemorosa\u003c\/strong\u003e, is very popular 'across the pond' where they have done extensive breeding and hybridization work...especially with its nemorosa x pratensis hybrid called \u003cstrong\u003eSalvia x sylvestris\u003c\/strong\u003e. Here in the US we have adopted some immigrant Salvia nemorosa cultivars into our gardens as well. Medicinally, Salvia nemorosa leaves are used as bandages to staunch bleeding due to the blood clotting ability of nemorone and other compounds. Salvia nemorosa flowers tend to be on the blue\/purple end of the spectrum and form long spikes above the foliage which not only look good in the garden, but also make great cut flowers. Plus, cutting the flowers, stimulates Salvia nemorosa to make even more flowers. Win-win!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSalvia nemorosa is commonly hybridized with other species such as S. pratensis and the crosses are referred to as Salvia x sylvestris, which is sometimes shortened to Salvia sylvestris.

Thanks to Ralph Perkins of Syngenta for creating this amazing shrubby sage! Salvia 'Mes Azur' is a hybrid between Salvia greggii, Salvia microphylla, and probably Salvia lycioides. Starting for us in mid-April, the 2' tall x 5' wide woody-stemmed clump of Salvia 'Mes Azur' is smothered in a mass of thousands of purple flowers.

They bloom for about six months but are not self-cleaning and the spent flower stalks are retained until a tidy minded gardener comes along and trims them off. The peak time to do this is late winter. At this time the shrubs are cut back by a half to two thirds to remove the dead tops of the plant. This does not require precision. It is a method meant to allow quick clean up of these woody salvias. Of course, any totally dead stems should also be removed. The health of the plant will not be compromised if it is not cleaned up but one will be viewing the current year's flowers amongst last year's dead flower stalks. This is the only routine maintenance that these salvias need.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe selections of Salvia greggii, Salvia microphylla and Salvia x jamensis vary in their vigor. The most vigorous individuals might occasionally need to reined in where they have spread too far if space is limited. But these are the exception to the rule in these normally stationary plants. Excess plants can be dug out and replanted elsewhere if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSalvia greggii, Salvia microphylla and Salvia x jamensis are sun lovers; more sun the better. They are also drought tolerant but also tolerate wet spells if provided with adequate drainage:not excessive drainage, just any soil where water doesn't pool after a rain. They are often called \"Autumn Sage\" for their peak bloom is late summer into fall, though in the humid eastern US they tend to bloom continuously from spring into fall. Extended dry spells in summer can decrease blooming as is typical in their native range of Texas and Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eNomenclature:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe genus Salvia consists of about one thousand species. A few are annuals, most are perennial. The perennial species can be either herbaceous or woody. The woody perennial species are most often shrubs though there are some salvias that are trees.

They are the type of long blooming plant that are good foils for the show stoppers that come and go such as lilies that are in bloom for a few weeks.
