Salvia Greggi “Mirage”, Deep Purple
A Cultivar With Class 

True to the Texas native Salvia Greggi, the cultivar “Mirage” deep-purple is a show stopper with a profusion of blooms and evergreen leaves that keep the interest on it all year round. 

While there are a variety of colors in the cultivar such as pink, cream, purples and red, I loved this deep purple variety because it is so rich and colorful that it seems to glows in the dark. 

Deep Purple Color that Lasts. 

Purple Is a majestic color that evokes luxury, mystery, pride, creativity and a little magic. Its regal appearance is stunning planted in mass or as a single addition to the landscape. 

Mirage Salvia Greggi is a mounding shrub that grows to about 18” tall x 2 ‘ wide. The deep purple blooms are consistently blooming from early spring to the first freeze. 

Just like its parent plant, this evergreen shrub makes an excellent border plant among deciduous or other evergreen plants for maximum impact throughout the year. 

Purple Flowers that Attract Wildlife

The color purple attracts a multitude of pollinators and the tubular shape is also attractive to hummingbirds and purple happens to be one of our bee’s favorite colors!

Requiring little to no maintenance once established, this super drought tolerant and deer resistant super star is an excellent xeriscape plant that loves full sun. They go fast at the local nurseries so it you see them, grab them because they are popular for good reason. 

If you’d like more information on xeriscape plant selections for central Texas, contact me for a Landscape Consultation or Design.
