Amethyst Lips Autumn Sage

Like a painter’s brushstroke across the garden, ‘Amethyst Lips’ Salvia delivers vivid purple-and-white bicolor blooms from late spring through fall. The unique color pattern shifts with temperature—sometimes deep amethyst, sometimes more white—making every bloom a surprise. Hummingbirds and butterflies flock to its nectar-rich flowers, while its aromatic, evergreen foliage provides year-round texture. Growing 18 inches tall and up to 2 feet wide, this compact, drought-tolerant sage is perfect for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens.
