Peruvian Sage Live Plant | Salvia discolor | Black & Silver Sage Pollinator Starter Plant

Add dramatic contrast and exotic beauty to your garden with Peruvian Sage, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its velvety charcoal-black flowers, silvery-white calyxes, and aromatic gray-green foliage. Salvia discolor, commonly known as Peruvian Sage, is an eye-catching tender perennial that brings unique color and texture to pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, patio containers, and Mediterranean-style landscapes. Its nectar-rich blooms attract hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Salvia discolor thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-draining soil with regular moisture. Its softly aromatic foliage provides season-long interest, while long flowering spikes emerge from summer through fall with striking near-black blossoms framed by silvery calyxes. In colder climates, it grows well in containers and can be overwintered indoors.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Salvia discolor starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
