A collection from the Northernmost part of the range (Arizona) for this Salvia which reaches all the way down to Central America or just into Northern Mexico depending on where you draw taxonomic lines. An evergreen species, though best cut back in our climates, with hot pink flowers that are gently fuzzy on the upper lip like a pubescent teen, only attractive and charming rather than disconcerting and in need of guidance. Perennial in at least Zone 8 if not slightly lower and can be used as an annual in colder climates.
The ticklingly named Prawn Sage (unexpected culinary pairing or wizened crustacean?) sports prawn red flowers typical of the genus but with the added flair of attractively felted leaves highlighted by a bright white underside. These were wild collected by Ben Kamm of Sacred Succulents as a part of his effort to source and distribute ethnobotanical plants of the Andes. To that end they like it dry and sunny, the hardiness is also a bit limiting but these are easily grown from cuttings to provide a self-perpetuating supply of annuals in colder climates
A Cody Hinchliff wild collection of this long-blooming Arizonan salvia. The long wait to see what species this would be when it flowered was well rewarded with white centered indigo flowers ensconced by particularly dark calyces that received unanimous approval from the staff. Extremely hardy, to at least zone 6, and with all the usual benefits of sage, pollinator magnet, drought tolerant, deer resistant, fragrant foliage etc.
