Description

A 2005 Plant Select® Winner. 24-36″ tall x 18″ wide. Salvia greggii ‘Furman’s Red’ (Texas Sage)
is a wonderful selection, valued for its tightly branched, upright
growth habit and profusion of dark red flowers beginning in early summer
and continuing through the fall. Culturally undemanding, this plant
tolerates a wide range of soils requiring only that they be quick
draining. Just a bit of extra water during dry spells encourages more
flowers. Although one of the most cold hardy Salvia greggii cultivars, ‘Furman’s Red’ will occasionally freeze to the ground in Zone 6 areas.
It will re-sprout quickly from the roots and crown to bloom on new wood
that same year. This is a woody, evergreen shrub in mild winter
climates. (cutting propagated)
