Salvia greggii ‘Wild Thing’
at Digging Dog
Sage
Thought in ancient times to perpetuate good health, an Arab proverb asks, “How shall a man die with sage in his garden?” Our Salvias are diverse perennials, shrubs or subshrubs. Many of them hail from the Mediterranean, Mexico and South America.
Drought tolerant, reliable once established, and generally pest and disease free, they combine an array of flowers and aromatic foliage in many different sizes, shapes, and hues. Salvia greggii ‘Wild Thing’ 
Plant aficionado Tom Peace helped establish this lavishly hued, west Texan’s notoriety. Quick to grow, full of vigor and more tolerant of cold, damp winters than most other greggii species, ‘Wild Thing’s leafy, good-looking form presents lustrous green foliage and droves of vivid cherry-pink flowers with contrasting wine-colored calyxes. Plant next to Agastache ‘Apricot
Sunrise’ and Verbascum ‘Sixteen Candles’ for a wild, long blooming
vignette.
Blooms June–September. Size: 3' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 6. AVAILABLE SPRING 2012 Salvia greggii ‘Wild Thing’ (P-1224)
