Salvia 'California Sunset' (California Sunset Sage)

SunZone: 7b-9, at least 36" tall Origin: Hybrid

We picked up this Salvia greggii hybrid in California under the incorrect name of S. macellaria. It turned out to be a splendid S. greggii hybrid (probably S. x jamensis) that forms a 3' tall x 4' wide, woody-stemmed deer-resistant clump, topped in spring and again in fall with a superb show of flower spikes of an unusual peachy-orange (RHS 31B) that just tops the foliage. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
