Salvia chiapensis

Native to cloud forests of Chiapas, Mexico, this lovely sage will only survive in the ground in frost-free zones. Deep green, glossy leaves grow on decumbent stems 1 1/2 - 2 ft. tall and wide. The bright fuchsia-pink flowers begin blooming in summer and continue well into winter with protection. Best with light shade and regular water. Excellent container plant or hanging basket. Bring into a greenhouse before frost, or, in milder zones place under an eave or other protected spot where it has survived for us outdoors even with freezing temperatures.
