A member of the Mirage™ series, this Salvia is prized for its compact mounding habit and prolific white flowers that bloom from spring through fall. It is exceptionally heat-tolerant, making it a reliable performer in the Houston metro area. However, like most Autumn Sages, it is highly sensitive to "wet feet." If your landscape has heavy clay soil, it is essential to plant in raised beds or incorporate plenty of expanded shale to ensure the drainage necessary to prevent root rot during our humid, rainy seasons.
