Salvia greggii 'Wild Thing'
'Wild Thing' Bush Sage
Quick Facts
Legend
Description:
24-39” x 3’ wide, (cutting propagated). This outstanding new cultivar was originally a wild-collected plant from its native habitat in west TX, the plant found its way into a garden in St. Louis, MO, where it grew beautifully for many, many years. Plantsman Tom Peace gave me a few plants to add to my NM gardens. “Wild Thing” was an instant favorite with myself and the hummingbirds. It is a very vigorous, fast growing plant with stunning coral pink flowers. Its ability to survive the cold, damp winters of the Midwest is a real plus, as it extends the usefulness of a Southwestern native plant to much of the U.S.
Zones (5?)6-10.
Special Notes:
Looks beautiful with silver foliage plants like Salvia or Artemisa Powis Castle!
