Salvia Leucantha, commonly known as Mexican Bush Sage, is a striking perennial prized for its soft, velvety texture and long-lasting colour. It produces arching spikes of purple or violet felted flowers, often accented with white, giving the plant a plush, almost velvet-like appearance. These blooms appear generously from late summer through autumn, adding rich colour exactly when many other plants begin to fade.

The shrub forms a graceful, bushy mound of grey-green foliage, creating a soft, airy presence in the garden. Highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators, Salvia leucantha is both beautiful and ecologically valuable.

Known for being tough, drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Perfect for mixed borders, cottage gardens, wildlife gardens and mass plantings, this variety brings movement, texture and dependable late-season colour to any landscape.
