| Botanical Name | Salvia greggii 'Coral' |
| Description | A sophisticated color choice for Willis and Houston landscapes, 'Coral' Autumn Sage offers a softer alternative to the traditional reds and pinks. This Texas native hybrid is loved for its unique peachy-orange tones and aromatic foliage. It is built to withstand the intense Southeast Texas humidity and heat. To ensure it thrives in local clay, plant it in a raised bed or a well-drained sunny location; proper drainage is the secret to keeping this Salvia happy through our rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for the best color and bloom production) |
| Height x Width | 2-3 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low once established. Very drought-tolerant, but requires sharp drainage to survive heavy Houston rain events. |
| Zones | 7 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a light, balanced fertilizer in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing to keep the plant compact and floriferous. |
| Pruning | Prune back by about one-third in late winter to prevent the plant from becoming woody and to encourage a fresh flush of spring flowers. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
