We picked up this delightful new color in Salvia greggii from plant guru, Chip Shoemaker, in Texas. The small mound of woody stems is clothed with narrow green foliage. In late spring and again in the fall, the 3-4' wide, deer-resistant, hummingbird-attracting clumps of Salvia 'Diane' are topped with small purple flowers. In some climates with less baking summers, you will also see some summer flowering. If you've been looking for a color break from typical Salvia greggii, this is your plant.
