Salvia darcyi Also commonly known as Galeana Red Sage. An evergreen to deciduous (winter dependent) salvia that grows 2-4 feet in height out in the open, taller if supported, spreads by stolons to produce wide clumps that are densely covered with the pastel green triangular shaped leaves that have a pleasant aroma when bruised or crushed. In late spring to early summer the long terminal racemes of bright coral-red flowers arise above the foliage and often with a peak in flowering again in fall. Plant in full to part sun (the more sun the better) and give regular to occasional deep irrigation - tolerates less but doesn't look nearly as nice. From a small area in the eastern Sierra Madre Occidental. Height: 3'-4'Spread: 3'-6' (spreads over time)Bloom: Summer-FallLight: Full Sun-Part ShadeWater: LowZone: 7-10Origin: Mexico
