Salvia spathacea ‘Las Pilitas’, Las Pilitas Hummingbird Sage
Out of stock
This attractive sage is notable for its bold pink and red flowering spikes and pleasant fragrance. It spreads by rhizomes and over time can cover a large area, making it a popular groundcover plant.
Las Pilitas is a very LOW form of fragrant hummingbird sage, selected and introduced by Las Pilitas Nursery. Ground-hugging foliage spreads to form handsome mats 3 to 6 ft. wide. Flower stems rise 18 inches above the foliage with ball-like clusters of magenta flowers which are bee and hummingbird favorites. Best with part shade and occasional summer water. It goes dormant by summer’s end if not watered. Let it die back in fall for a new flush of growth in spring. It will tolerate clay and seasonal flooding. Deer resistant.
