Spectacular Winter Flowering Beauty

Salvia Alert! is a free service to our customers, to let them know when new varieties become available on our web site. Many are very limited, and we often sell out of unusual or rare varieties within days of their introduction.

We think this is a very special plant. Introducing:

Salvia purpurea 'Lavender Lace'

Large growing and amazingly floriferous, Lavender Lace is purported to be a select variety of Salvia purpurea. It grows very fast to 7 feet plus tall and wide and blooms from late fall into the spring. Hardy to at least 25 degrees, this is a plant for those in Zone 9 and above.

We have not offered this spectacular plant since 2018, If you are in a mild climate and have a rich soil spot for this Guatemalan native, you and the local hummingbirds will be enchanted by the rich color of the flowers. This is a must have Salvia for mild climates.

A big "Thank you!" to Nancy Newfield of Casa Colibrí in Metairie, Louisiana for our original stock of this plant.

Our inventory is quite strong right now, with a wide variety of varieties. Many of the rare types that are only available in the summer are ready now. Read our article, Ask Mr. Sage: Can I Plant Salvias in Summer?, for summer planting tips.
