| Botanical Name | Salvia greggii 'Pink' |
| Description | A dependable Houston-area favorite for its toughness and airy, colorful presence. This Salvia greggii variety thrives in our high humidity and summer sun but is highly sensitive to "wet feet." In landscapes with heavy clay, it is critical to plant in raised beds or well-amended soil with expanded shale to ensure the rapid drainage this species requires. Once established, it provides consistent color with minimal water needs and is rarely bothered by pests. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for compact growth and best blooming) |
| Height x Width | 2-3' Height x 2-3' Width |
| Water | Low once established; avoid overwatering in high-rainfall months |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring |
| Pruning | Prune back by 1/3 in late winter and again in mid-summer to encourage fresh blooms |
| Deer Resistance | High (Aromatic foliage) |
